In 1978 a small group of women and men got together to start collecting and preserving the history of gay and lesbian Australia. Forty years later, their efforts and of scores of volunteers have built the Australian Lesbian and Gay Archives, the only national collection of lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, gay, transgender, brotherboy and sistergirl historical materials in Australia.

The Archives' Future Fund campaign aims to ensure these vital histories, herstories and theirstories are around for the future.

Housing the collection: renting or buying new space;

Preserving the collection and making it accessible: purchasing archival materials and digitising collections;

Sharing our histories: exhibitions, publishing and education programs.
