In 1978 a small group of women and men got together to start collecting and preserving the history of gay and lesbian Australia. Forty years later, their efforts and of scores of volunteers have built the Australian Queer Archives, the only national collection of lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, gay, transgender, brotherboy and sistergirl historical materials in Australia.
