Trans, Non-binary and Intersex Archiving Workshop

Join Queer Heritage South and The Clare Project to explore the vibrant trans, non-binary and intersex history of Brighton & Hove and contribute to a growing digital community archive!

For more than 10 years, Queer Heritage South has been celebrating the and promoting the rich cultural life of LGBTQIA+ people in Brighton & Hove through heritage activities. Now home to a growing digital archive (https://www.queerheritagesouth.co.uk/s/queer-heritage-south/page/collections), Queer Heritage South seeks to preserve often-overlooked stories and artefacts integral to Brighton & Hove's LGBTQIA+ history. This interactive workshop will explore the power of personal narratives in shaping the archive and celebrate the wide range of objects and ephemera that enrich our understanding of TNBI history. Participants will have the opportunity to catalogue and digitise their own personal items to be preserved in the Queer Heritage South digital archive. This is a free event and refreshments will be provided.

Participants are encouraged to bring one or more items relating to their own TNBI history they wish to add to the digital archive, and a smartphone or tablet if possible.

What to expect:

1:30pm - browse the objects other participants have brought, over a cup of tea
1:45pm - listen to a presentation about the Queer Heritage South digital archive from Rowan Rush-Morgan, Community Archivist
2:30pm - have a go at archiving activity: try writing an object label for an object you haven’t seen before - then find out the real story from the person who brought it along!
2:45pm - tea break (anyone who doesn’t wish to upload items to the digital archive is welcome to leave at this point)
3pm - practical archiving time to add the items brought along to the digital archive, using laptops and scanners provided, or your own smartphone or tablet, with assistance from Queer Heritage South team members
4pm - workshop ends
