Doing LGBT histories 

Queensland's LGBT History Project in conjunction with the State Library of Queensland and the Australian Lesbian and Gay Archives is set to host and evening of issues and inspirations that challenge our conventional ways of 'doing' history.

To be held on 13 July at the State library of Queensland, the evening will present a number of guest speakers, including E.G Crichton, who is artist-in-residence with the San Francisco GLBT Historical Society and Associate Professor of Art at the University of California Santa Cruz; transgender activist Jenny Scott and Dr Yorick Smaal, a local gay historian who identifies the issues of delving into archives when so little is on the record of our LGBT lives.

All members of the community are invited to hear these speakers and see some of their work as well as view the State Library's current exhibition which includes some of the Queensland AIDS Archive.

Time: 5.15pm to 7.30 pm Monday 13th July. Venue: Reading Room of the John Oxley Library, State Library of Queensland, Stanley Street, South Brisbane. R.S.V.P. by Wednesday 8th July  Ph. QAHC (07) 3017 1777
