Keep Our Stories Alive
The ArQuives aspires to be a significant resource and catalyst for those who strive for a future world where 2SLGBTQIA+ people are accepted, valued, and celebrated. Our goal is to make 2SLGBTQIA+ history accessible to communities through access to the collection and through dynamic programming. We strive for a world where our collective memory in Canada recognises the importance and impact of 2SLGBTQIA+ history and celebrates it.
