- This article is about the online encyclopaedia: for the research project run by Chris Park see LGBT History Project (blog).
The LGBT History Project is an LGBT online encyclopaedia for the United Kingdom[1] It was created in June 2011 by Jonathan Harbourne.[2]
It was launched at the pre-launch in November 2012 for LGBT History Month 2012.[3][4][5]
Sport is one of the themes of the site, reflecting its origins in connection with London 2018, the campaign to bring the Gay Games/Outgames to London in 2018.[6] However it now seeks to cover all aspects of LGBT life in the UK, from the earliest times to the present day. The Project's logo is a time capsule, reflecting the aim of preserving for future generations the history of LGBT people, institutions, and events that would otherwise be forgotten.
According to WikiIndex,
- "Articles are generally written to a very high standard of presentation and content, and contain good references to reliable sources. Furthermore, articles are presented in an extremely well balanced style of prose, maintaining a consistent neutral point of view."[7]
