Queer History Club is an informal, community-centred research group meeting monthly at the National Maritime Museum. If you’re interested in joining, come along and find out more. No historical expertise required. Queer passions, special interests and historical crushes very much encouraged.
Whether you have used collections and archives for research before or are new to this area, we are looking for new members to join us as we seek out the existing and perceived queerness in the archives and look at providing alternative perspectives on the collection.
This may appeal to anyone interested in exploring creative practice in conversation with historical research and queer archival practice. No specialist knowledge or existing practice will be needed to participate. The club acts as a social space to share your passion for queer maritime history, to develop your research skills, share ideas with peers and generally have a good time!
The club is run by the founding members of the Queer History Club (a one-year project exploring LGBTQ+ histories in the collection) as well as RMG staff.
We will be advertising dates of upcoming sessions shortly.
To register your interest, please email learning@rmg.co.uk with the subject title 'Queer History Club'.
