The aim of this project was to create a network of queer history archives and activities in the Nordic and Baltic countries and to promote the sharing of experience and knowledge and to explore opportunities for partnership, infrastructure solutions, and financial conditions. The network’s partners in Sweden, Finland and Norway have different competences and used those to conduct their individual seminar days and network gatherings. The seminars invited queer archives, researchers, cultural heritage professionals and artists from the Nordic and Baltic countries to share experience and knowledge, for development and for partnerships. The network challenged previous marginalising historiography in the Nordic countries, broadened interest in queer history in the Nordic and Baltic countries, and contributed to a more inclusive view of history. The work to change this was communicated through an open digital platform where activities and discussions was documented and made accessible, and included links to the different LHBTQ archives and history activities.
