The LGBT History Project was set up by Jonathan Harbourne, co-chair of the London 2018 bid to host the Gay Games/Out Games. Jonathan started the Rainbow Raiders softball club soon after moving to London in 1999, and wanted to learn about other people’s experiences of started clubs in the UK. After reading many of the published books on LGBT History, in order to get ideas for LGBT History Month events at work, he decided to start a Wiki to try and capture other people’s memories and bring about a wider and deeper body of knowledge. LGBT History Project was started in June 2011, and the plan is to launch it at LGBT History Month 2012. It is currently in it’s beta testing period.
