OTP 2020 Hub - Bishopsgate Institute, London

Bishopsgate Institute is home to one of the most comprehensive and accessible Special Collections and Archives documenting Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ+) histories in Britain.  We started collecting LGBTQ+ materials in 2011 as part of our commitment to recording hidden histories and to preserving and sharing the history of protest and radicalism, and it is now one of our most-used research resources.

We have been gifted archive materials by over thirty organisations. Major collections include:  

-Sue Sanders and Schools OUT UK archive

-Lesbian and Gay Newsmedia Archive (LAGNA)

-LGBTQ+ Library

-The Campaign for Homosexual Equality

-Switchboard

-Stonewall

-The UK Leather Archive

-Paris Lees Archive
