Victoria’s Queer History with the Australian Queer Archive (AQuA), Heritage Victoria, and the University of Melbourne

Heritage Victoria has commissioned the Australian Lesbian and Gay Archives (ALGA) to develop a new heritage study A History of LGBTIQ Victoria in 100 Places and Objects. It will include places of gathering, punishment, ‘treatment’, political activism, social life, recreation and health from as far back as records reveal to today. It will also include significant objects, documents, photos and collections to bring to light Victoria’s hidden queer histories. ACAHUCH academic Dr James Lesh discusses with Dr Marina Larsson (Heritage Victoria) and Dr Graham Willett (ALGA / UoM) the genesis, development and outcome of the report, and interesting findings contained within.
