Cork LGBT Archive

Recognizing Cork, Ireland's "long and rich history of LGBT activism, community formation and development," the Cork LGBT Archive is on a mission to preserve and share elements of this history. This mission is all the more important due to the fact that LGBT history has been underappreciated and underrepresented in traditional historical accounts. Under the Browse Items tab, users can view the archive's almost 200 items (as of this write-up) that range from event posters to informational pamphlets. Materials are also catalogued under Browse Collections (including collections such as Team Cork Gay Games, which details an international LGBT athletic competition) and Browse Exhibits (including collections such as Gay Sweatshop 1980 Cork, which details an LGBT theater group). The archive also houses a Blog that covers related elements of Cork's LGBT history. For example, a recent post discusses "The Struggle for LGBT Workers' Rights Ireland." Cork LGBT Archive was created by Orla Egan, an activist and historian, and has received significant contributions from the Arthur Leahy collection.
