Rainbow NewsMoscow LGBT Archive will be digitized
20 Jan. 2012
Volunteers are invited to help translate the archive of lesbian and gay people existing in Moscow into digital format. Since the mid-1990s, the head of this public initiative is Elena Husyatyn.
The archive is a collection of thousands of documents - from the first publications on homosexuality in the publications of the Soviet Union to personal diaries, letters of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. In the 1990s and early 2000s, the archive was actively functioning in the form of a private library. In 2005 alone, personal cards were opened for more than a hundred people.
It is no exaggeration to say that the archive was visited by thousands. At various times, the meetings were held in private home, in the clubs or in the social organizations.
A new impulse to the development of this social initiative may be given by the idea to digitize archives and open access to it as pdf files.
During the existence of the archive its materials gave birth to several books. Among them - a study by Sonya Franeta "Pink Flamingos: Ten Siberian interview" (2003). In 2004 her book was among the ten most popular publications for gays and lesbians based on sales at Shop.Gay.Ru.
Potential volunteers for Lesbian and Gay Archives are invited to join the recently established group in the social network.
