CORK LGBT ARCHIVE COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Cork LGBT Archive Company Limited by Guarantee is a community‑driven organisation dedicated to preserving and celebrating queer history in Cork. Through its Cork LGBT Digital Archive, the group collects, digitises and makes accessible a wide range of photographs, documents, oral histories and artefacts that chart the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ people across the city and beyond.

The archive’s work extends into a vibrant programme of events and activities, including talks, media appearances, exhibitions and the popular “Cork Queeros” series. It also curates a selection of books, films and the “Diary Of An Activist”, offering resources for researchers, educators and anyone interested in queer heritage. In addition, the archive has produced the “Loafers” DVD, now available for purchase, providing a visual narrative of Cork’s queer past.

By combining meticulous documentation with lively public programming, Cork LGBT Archive ensures that the city’s queer history is impossible to ignore, fostering understanding and pride within the local community and wider audiences.
