Explore highlights from our LGBTQ collections in the online resource.
This is a compilation of books, websites and audio resources which have been used by the workers on the Lesbian Archive Development Project while developing the LGBTQ Collections Online Resource. The list is by no means comprehensive, but we have tried to populate it as fully as possible. We want to signpost the great work of other archives and LGBTQ History projects across the UK and internationally, as well as to provide people accessing this resource with other avenues for research. The majority of books listed can be accessed or borrowed at Glasgow Women’s Library, along with a whole load of other LGBTQI+ texts.
