-
A beautifully illustrated compendium of LGBTIQ+ life, A Queer Scrapbook offers a rich archive of histories from across Britain and Ireland. Brimming with interviews, newspaper clippings, photographs, and flyers, it traces urban, rural, and regional queer experiences from 1945 to the present. Commentaries and short essays introduce a changing queer landscape, organised around four themes: home and family, socialising and sex, arts and culture, and activism and community. The book explores domestic life and parenting, reveals the unexpected places where LGBTIQ+ people gathered for fun, highlights the importance of creative expression, and documents campaigns for justice and equal rights. Rooted in the tradition of collecting as a way for marginalised people to assert identity and community, A Queer Scrapbook vividly captures the diversity of queer and trans lives across the British and Irish isles since the Second World War.
