Brighton Ourstory: The End Of History

We are sad to announce that, after twenty-four years of searching out and telling the stories of Brighton's lesbian, gay and bisexual communities and individuals, Brighton Ourstory is unable to continue in this work.
Just too tired to go on, we hope we have sown the seeds of interest for those who come after – there is plenty yet to do – and made a bit of history ourselves.
We would like to thank all those, too numerous to mention individually here, who have supported Ourstory's work and to apologise to those whom we have been unable to help over the last year, whilst this painful conclusion has been emerging.
We are currently making arrangements to re-home the items deposited in our archive. We hope to produce a last newsletter and will be writing to all our Friends individually soon. It seems likely that the website will continue, so carry on clicking.

Brighton Ourstory Project

Really sad to hear this news - BOP did so much great and truly groundbreaking work on uncovering and celebrating this city's remarkable queer history.
Thanks to Linda and Tom and everyone who got involved. 

PS Please have a look at their website. You don't have to be gay and to have lived and loved in Brighton etc etc.
