Library and archive

One of the newer developments at the LGF has been the creation of an LGB archive and library of resources.

A dedicated team of volunteers have worked hard to index and catalogue over 1,000 items, including LGB fiction, academic sources and an impressive periodicals section, with gay press dating back to the 1970s.

The LGF also benefits from the experience of Manchester Archives and Local Studies at Manchester Central Library , who are committed to collecting archives relating to Manchester’s LGBT community.

If you hold archive or historic material relating to Manchester’s LGBT community, then please do not hesitate to contact us. Donations to the archive are always welcome.
