The UK LGBT Archive was started in June 2011 by Jonathan Harbourne, originally as the LGBT History Project. It was relaunched under its present name in December 2015.
The aim is to provide a comprehensive picture of LGBT life in the United Kingdom from the earliest times to the present day.
It follows principles similar to Wikipedia, one major difference that it covers a very large number of subjects (provided they are connected with the UK and with LGBT people) that Wikipedia would consider not "notable" enough for inclusion.
See the Leaflet that was produced for an exhibition in February 2013.
