Mapping Queer Hertfordshire

This project will co-create a queer map of Hertfordshire, showcasing existing and newly sourced LGBTQ+ stories, objects, and memories from HALS, museums, and the public. Hosted on the Herts Memories website, the virtual map will link queer histories to specific locations. Outputs include an embedded map widget, an Instagram account for outreach and collection, and a touring display.
The project aims to highlight personal and overlooked LGBTQ+ histories, foster public engagement, and strengthen partnerships between archives and communities. Impact will be measured through online engagement, feedback, and follow-up with contributors to assess the significance of their submissions.
