Video recording of a webinar led by Steven Dryden,  Sound Archive and Humanities Reference Specialist at the British Library. Steven co-curated Gay UK: Love, Law and Liberty (2017) and develops content for the British Library LGBTQ History website. In this video, Steven shares newspapers, sound recordings and pamphlets archived at the Library, which tell a history of Gay Liberation Front UK (GLF). This event explored what happens to a radical political movement when it is archived and preserved by a national library and includes questions from the public as to the contemporary and international relevance of GLF UK. The webinar took place on 18 May 2020 and was delivered as part of ICOM International Museum Day.

Thanks to Dr Debbie Challis at London School of Economics and the British Library LGBTQPlus Staff Network.
