The efforts and plans of Hungarian LGBTQ archives

S. Nagy, A. Borgos

Presentation of the work of the two Hungarian LGBTQ archives: The Archives of Háttér Society (established in 1995) which collects LGBTQ materials and Labrisz Lesbian Association (founded in 1999) which concentrates primarily on Hungarian lesbian herstory. Both archives participate in the research of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences on the 20th century social history of homosexuality, editing LGBTQ-related articles on Wikipedia and plan to found an LGBTQ periodical. Labrisz has conducted interviews with elderly lesbians in the framework of its lesbian herstory project. Labrisz has also worked to construct a lesbian herstory archive, including primary documents, photos, articles, books, and audiovisual materials from the 20th century.
