'Perverse Collections' website launch

The website for the Perverse Collections: Building Europe's Queer and Trans Archives project is now live.

'Perverse Collections', which is funded by the Joint Programming Initiative on Cultural Heritage (JPICH), is headed up by Prof Glyn Davis of the Department of Film Studies. The project involves collaborators in the United Kingdom, Spain, and the Netherlands, and runs from June 2023 to August 2025.

Working with Associate Partner organisations across Europe, Scandinavia and the United Kingdom, 'Perverse Collections' aims to map the growth and spread of queer and trans archives across the last fifty years, and to identify ways in which lessons learned by these organisations can assist in making them and their collections resilient against future challenges.

Workshops, roundtables, and conferences have already taken place in London, Amsterdam, Den Haag and Dundee; forthcoming events will be held (amongst other locations) in Madrid and Valencia.
