Explore five decades of LGBTQ+ history through a brand new digital archive created in partnership with Google Arts & Culture.
This immersive online experience brings to life stories of activism, love, and liberation from LGBT Foundation’s community and archive collections.
This isn’t your typical online gallery. It’s a curated digital journey through queer protest, pleasure, creativity, crisis, and community. From the early days of grassroots activism to groundbreaking health campaigns and life-affirming cultural moments, it’s all here – told through the words, images, and memories of those who lived it.
You’ll find archive images from pivotal moments in LGBTQ+ UK history, personal stories from those who built – and relied on – LGBT Foundation and posters, flyers, and visual artefacts that shaped the movement.
As we mark our 50th year, this archive isn’t just a tribute – it’s a foundation for what comes next. We’re collecting, curating, and sharing so that future generations know where they come from and what’s possible when community comes together.
The Rainbow Trail is proudly sponsored by Barefoot Wine and supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Now more than ever, we need your support to continue to advocate loudly and proudly for our communities. Please consider donating to keep our community projects, services, and programmes front and centre for years to come 💞
