About

Queer Heritage South presents: The Collecting Collective: Community collecting and digitizing sessions. A programme powered by Marlborough Productions.

Do you have a piece of queer history youd like to add to the Queer Heritage South digital archive? Or are you curious about how archiving works? Join us for one of our regular The Collecting Collective: Community collecting and digitizing sessions. These are friendly, relaxed archiving meet-ups led by our Community Archivist, Rowan. These sessions are open to anyone interested in LGBTQIA+ history. Whether you have a piece of queer history you want to share, youre interested in volunteering, or you just want to connect with others, youll be in good company.

There are three ways to get involved:

Donate to the archive! Bring your memories, photos, flyers, zines, and stories, and help preserve LGBTQIA+ history for future generations. Use our flat-bed and overhead scanners to digitise and upload your own piece of queer history to the Queer Heritage South archive..

Volunteer in the archive! Help to digitise and catalogue our collections. There are no prior skills needed, other than enthusiasm.

Be part of something bigger! Meet new people, make connections with others interested in LGBTQIA+ history, and become part of the wider Queer Heritage South community.

You can expect an accessible, friendly and informal space, held within Brighton Museum & Art Gallery. Sessions are supported by Queer Heritage South throughout and no prior archiving experience is needed.

In our March session, well be joined by Volunteers Coordinator Bee, who will give more information on upcoming events and volunteering opportunities with Queer Heritage South. Alongside archiving activities, there will be space to relax and socialise, with refreshments, and a selection of LGBTQ+ history books.

If you have any questions, or would like to chat about any aspect of getting involved, email archive@marlboroughproductions.org.uk.
