Archive of Affective Memories LGTBIQ+

The Archive of Affective Memories LGTBIQ+ is created to preserve and disseminate the historical and cultural memory of the LGTBIQ+ community through the collection, digitisation, exhibition and archiving of testimonies, documents and objects that reflect their experiences, struggles and achievements, in order to promote recognition, respect and appreciation of affective and gender diversity.

On this website you can see a sample of the archive, which is available for consultation at the headquarters of the Fundación 26 de Diciembre in Madrid.
