The Borthwick Institute: pages on sources for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgendered History
Inspired by the 2005 Lesbian and Gay History Month. As part of the University of York and as an archive used by students, academics and members of the general public we wanted to produce a website which would encourage researchers to consider LGBT history and provide a teaching resource (aimed largely but not only at undergraduate courses) with general research guidance and sample “case studies” from the 16th to the 18th centuries, taken from the documents we hold here. A grant to design and develop the site was provided by the University of York’s Equality and Diversity in the Curriculum Project from the HEFCE Teaching Quality Enhancement Fund.

Gay Left was a socialist journal which was produced by a collective of gay men between 1975-1980. It drew upon both gay liberation ideas and Marxism. It contained contributions from a number of current and former members of both NATFHE and AUT.
A website of the journal is now being set up and can be reached at www.gayleft1970s.org. It is a work in progress and so far only four of the ten issues are available in pdf format. You can read the contents pages of the other six and I am assured that their entire contents
will be available in pdf format by the end of the month.

Paragraph 175
Educational resources based around the documentary Paragraph 175 . Paragraph 175 was a 1871 German law, amended by the Nazis and kept on the German law books until 1969, because of it some of the victims who were there for homosexuality were sent directly to prison and that it took years for them to be recognised as victims of the concentration camps (The official apology from the German government came in 2001!!!).
