OUT in the Open Archive

Glasgow Women’s Library, and Women in Profile (the organisation that GWL grew from), involved LGBTQ+ people right from the start. Over three decades we’ve played our role as activists, delivered events, commissioned writers and artists, created life-changing projects and helped to impact on government policies to make Scotland better for LGBTQ+ people.

OUT in the Open Archive, Saturday 26th February, 1pm to 2pm, In Person at GWL, Free.

Join GWL’s Director, Sue John, at this informal talk and browse through our archives to sample some milestone moments in this facet of GWL’s 30 year history. We will also launch a dedicated exhibition that brings GWL’s LGBTQ+ work to the fore.
