Home to the UK’s largest LGBTQIA+ archive, the Bishopsgate Institute tells a story of monumental political and social struggles in London and further afield. Its special collections manager will reveal how the archive developed, the stories and adventures behind the collections, and how he has sought to collect the history of LGBTQIA+ in a different way.
