QueerSpace

QueerSpace was founded in 1998 to support and create a safe and inclusive space for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community in Belfast. A volunteer-led collective, it aims to raise LGBT+ visibility, provide support and resources for LGBT+ activities, and facilitate communication by fostering discussion and debate.
 
This online collection is a selection of material from the QueerSpace archive held at the Linen Hall Library and is comprised of ephemera, correspondence, and press clippings pertaining to QueerSpace as well as other organisations and movements including Cara-Friend, and Belfast Pride.
