A history of LGBTIQ+ Victoria in 100 Places and Objects

In March 2021 Heritage Victoria published A History of LGBTIQ+ Victoria in 100 Places and Objects, which it had commissioned from the Australian Queer Archives (AQuA).

AQuA in turn commissioned Way Back When to bring the report together in the final phase of the project. Way Back When worked with AQuA to determine the final structure of the report, write an introduction, and collate and edited the text. The result is an accessible and pioneering report – the first of its kind in Australia – that identifies 100 places, objects and collections that have special meaning to Victoria’s contemporary queer communities.
