This symposium brings together members of the LGBTQ+ community interested in preserving their own histories, alongside queer heritage activists, and historic collections professionals. Over the course of this three‑hour event, delegates working both within and beyond heritage institutions will share their experiences of preserving LGBTQ+ memory and explore the theme of “People, Power and Activism in LGBTQ+ Contemporary Collecting.”
As part of the programme, we will screen a selection of recently uncovered films revealed through a project partnership between the East Anglian Film Archive (EAFA) and Queer Norfolk. These films shed new light on queer histories and community life. The event will also see the launch of new guidance designed to support individuals and community groups in preserving LGBTQ+ moving image material outside of formal film archives, ensuring these stories remain accessible for future generations.
