Collected for the Remember When LBGT project.

The Remember When project was an oral and community history project which documented the lives and achievements of Edinburgh’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, past and present and was a joint initiative between the City of Edinburgh and the Living Memory Association.

The project recorded the stories of a wide range of Edinburgh’s LGBT communities and showed how they have continually made a distinctive and valuable contribution to life in Edinburgh.

You can find more information about the International Gay Rights Congress of 1974 from the OurStory Scotland website.
