Having a clearout?
Donate it to us - anything from your collection of lesbian pulp fiction to 50s muscle mags, GLF badges from the 70s to queer club flyers in the 90s. We'll love and treasure them forever.

Updating your will?
Some of the most precious items in our collection, from photos to love letters, have come from bequests from ordinary lesbians and gay men. For details of how to include us in your will, please contact us.
