How to Start an LGBTQ+ Archive

This closed workshop will bring together a small group of archivists, activists and academics to discuss the pragmatics of setting up an LGBTQ+ archive. What knowledge is needed before such an undertaking? What hurdles and challenges (unexpected or otherwise) have to be faced along the way? People from the Queer Muzeum in Warsaw, HomeSpace in Tirana, the LGBT Archive in Cork and Isgirsti in Vilnius (among others) will share their knowledge and experience. This event will be recorded and transcribed, and the transcription will appear on the PERCOL website in the near future!
