On 4th March, we held our first in-person volunteer session to get to know eachother a little better and to decide on how we would be proceeding with the project. We have defined key areas of interest and found roles to suit everyone who has gotten involved so far. These include:
Thank you to everyone who has reached out since the project started to offer support by commenting on records, sharing feedback on the map, donating objects physically or digitally, or has offered to volunteer their time to build a richer picture of Norfolk’s queer heritage.
Digitisation will continue, so expect to see more records on Queer Norfolk soon!
Queer Norfolk is a volunteer-led archiving project that hands ownership of queer collections back to communities, empowering people to access, discover, and contribute to local collections that reflect our shared histories.
