Canadian LGBTQ History is happening every day. The fight for equality never ends. Help us by gaining an understanding of our history and struggles.

Queer history typically is not passed down from generation to generation through the schools, the churches, or the biological family, it's incredibly important to preserve the fundamental documentary material on which LGBTQ historical writing and other forms of cultural production are based.

LGBTQ historical materials are waiting to be rediscovered and interpreted by a new generation of researchers and activists. You'll also have a lot of fun, as well as a valuable learning experience.
