Queer Archive

The Queer Archive brings together printed material from the history of queer communities in the Netherlands and beyond. Flyers, posters, exhibition catalogues, magazines, art reproductions and individual documents together form the image of a culture that long organised itself through clandestine print, small-scale publishing and personal correspondence. The decision to present this material as its own collection proceeds from the view that ephemera only reveal their historical value once they are recognised and preserved as such, rather than dissolving into other paper categories.
