Open Up! is an IHLIA project about the history of LGBTQIA+<\/strong><\/strong> emancipation and development, mainly in central, east and southeast Europe.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It focuses on these countries because in these regions the LGBTQIA+ rights are lagging behind compared to those in many other parts of Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The archives and history of these brave movements contain unique documents. They can help us understand the changes in these countries and how they affect (or have affected) the LGBTQIA+ movements and organizations. In addition, these documents provide us with some background on our less known heroes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Completely online<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of Open Up! is to make a large number of journals and organization archives digitally accessible worldwide. These include magazines, newspapers, professional journals and texts from lectures, folders policy memos, newsletters, minutes of meeting and press releases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entire collection comes from the cabinets of IHLIA\u2019s own archive, which consists of journals and organization archives, or it comes directly from archives of international, European and local lgbt organizations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project\u00a0was presented at the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans & Intersex \u2013 Archive, Library, Museum and Special Collections (LGBTI-ALMS) Conference in Amsterdam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
