Art exhibit

Preserving our history se we can share it! | Quebec Lesbian Archives

In 1983, four friends created Archives Traces, Montréal’s first lesbian archives. The initiative was part of an international effort to build a collective memory for lesbians, a memory for us. The archives had several homes: Gilford School, private apartments, Montréal’s LGBT+ Community Centre and, finally, Cité-des-Hospitalières. Today, 42 years later, the Archives lesbiennes du Québec invite you to explore their collections and discover the rich, dynamic history of a Montréal lesbian community.

An exhibition by the Archives lesbiennes du Québec (Quebec Lesbian Archives), developed with the support of the MEM – Centre des mémoires montréalaises.
