This month marks the two-year anniversary of the UK LGBT History Project, an online encyclopaedia documenting the history of LGBT people in the UK.
Founded by Jonathan Harbourne, the encyclopaedia, which now includes over 1,700 articles, is based on the same software as Wikipedia and uses a similar approach, except that is focuses exclusively on LGBT life in the UK and includes articles that would never be considered ‘noble’ enough to be included in Wikipedia.
There’s an article for every county, city and large town in the UK, plus an increasing number of smaller towns and local government districts.

Scene was founded in Brighton in 1993, at a time when news stories about Pride protests were considered radical.
Since then, Scene has remained proudly independent, building a platform for queer voices. Every subscription helps us to report on the stories that matter to LGBTQ+ people across the UK and beyond.
Your support funds our journalists and contributes to Pride Community Foundation’s grant-making and policy work.
