Preserving Pride: Brisbane Pride History Project Launch

Explore why Brisbane’s LGBTQIA+ history matters, what we should preserve, and how your stories and objects can help tell our history.
About this Event

Brisbane Pride is launching a major new initiative to preserve and celebrate Brisbane’s LGBTQIA+ histories, calling on the community to help ensure its stories are not lost.

The Brisbane Pride History Project will be publicly launched at Preserving Pride, a special panel discussion alongside Brisbane Pride Fair Day, at Brisbane Powerhouse on Saturday 7 November.

The project will create a living and evolving record of Brisbane’s LGBTQIA+ history through oral histories, community collecting, digital storytelling and supporting LGBTQIA+ collection development at public museums, libraries and archives.

A dedicated Brisbane Pride History page on the Brisbane Pride website will also launch at the event, providing a public home for the project and a way for the community to engage with its development.
