Locating Queer Memories

Locating Queer Memories provides users with "a digital map of LGBTQ history in Barcelona, 1970-1980." Catalan-Canadian historian Ona Bantjes-Rafols created this project as part of a digital humanities course at Carleton University. In the project, she reflects on the "stories hidden in city streets," noting, as an example, the many times she passed the Rambla (a pedestrian street in central Barcelona) before learning its history as "the site of the very first gay rights march in the Spanish State." Then, she shares these stories with others, as cataloged by map pinpoints. Two maps are available. The first highlights stories specific to Barcelona. The second provides an international perspective, outlining cross-continental connections. Clicking on a pinpoint pulls up a quote, story, or excerpt detailing "queer life in Barcelona during the 1970s," from struggle to solidarity. Note that zooming in on sections of the map makes for an easier navigation experience. Readers will also find a brief essay providing Historical Context and a Bibliography.
