Lgbt People and the UK Cultural Sector: The Response of Libraries, Museums, Archives and Heritage Since 1950

4.3/5 ( ratings)

This book examines the complex and conflicting relationships between LGBT people and our cultural and heritage organisations including libraries, museums and archives. In this unique book established author John Vincent draws together current good practice, and also highlights issues which urgently still need to be addressed. To set the work of libraries, museums and archives in context, Vincent traces the development of LGBT rights in the UK. He goes on to examine some of the reasons for hostility and hatred against this minority group and critically explores provision that has been made by cultural and heritage organisations. He offers examples of good practice - not only from the UK, but from across the world - and draws up an essential 'charter' for future development.This compelling, practical book should be read by managers and staff in libraries, museums and archives around the world looking for guidance on this important issue.
