Subject Folders, 1967 - 2000
Scope and Contents
This sub-series contains folders of material collected by volunteers to allow them to build their knowledge on issues affecting the LGBT+ community. This material helped volunteers provide up-to-date information to callers on subjects such as sexual health (including HIV and AIDS), legal rights, and counselling. Leaflets, zines, and other publications from LGBT+ groups across the United Kingdom were also collected, both for information purposes and to pass on contact details of organisations to callers when necessary.
