        Interdiisaplinary: opening up to a wider range of intellectual traditions. The social sciences – sociology, anthropology, political science amongst others – need to be drawn on to provide theoretical insights and techniques to study ‘heritage

        In a time of increasing financial pressures and uncertainty, inevitably some orgainsations will do better than others (the national trust) , as the heritage practisioner is accutley aware, decisions need to be made, some organsiations will be prioritised over others, gain from competitive pools of funding while others will be allowed to fall to ruin.

And I feel strongly that SUpreme court needs to stand on the side of the American people, not on the side of the powerful coporations and the wealthy. For me that means we need a supreme court that will stand up on behalf of womens rights, on behalf of the rights of the LGBT community, that will stand up and say no to citizens united a decision that has undermined the election system in our country. Dark money into election...It is important to this countries history to not reverse marriage equality,...that we stand up and say that the supreme court should represent all of us. That's how I see the court and the kinds of people that I would be looking to nominate to the court, in the great tradition to standing up to the powerful and for our rights as americans.

        bACKLASH TO BIRMINGHAMS GAY HERITAGE GRANT AND HIDDEN HISTORIES
        
        ACKY projects on gay and polish history have been awarded nearly £100,000 by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
        The projects, which are supposed to uncover Birmingham’s ‘hidden histories’, are part of an overall grant of £138,000 awarded to the city.
        The Birmingham LGBT Community Trust, which is involved in the annual Gay Pride carnival in the city, has been awarded a £50,000 grant for a project called ‘Gay Birmingham Remembered, Back to Back’.
        While the Polish Expats Association has been granted £48,100 to collect and present the history of Polish migrants into the UK from 2004 when the EU was enlarged to include Poland.
        Last night family campaigner, Dr Adrian Rogers, criticised the grants.
        He said: “If people disapprove of this type of grant funding they simply have to stop buying lottery tickets.
        “In a country which is almost as bankrupt as Ireland there are a long list of worthy causes which should benefit from grants long before these projects, particularly in the areas of mental health and care for the elderly.
        “Youth projects are another area which is badly in need of funding. I can only view these awards as unnecessary, especially at a time when everybody is having to look after their money and when there are projects out there which are so much more worthwhile than these.”
        The gay history project spans the period from the 1850s to the 1970s to recount the true stories of four individuals, one from each of four eras.
        Their individual stories will then be told during the 2011 SHOUT Festival in the Back to Backs restored workers’ cottages sited on Hurst Street within the Birmingham’s Gay Village.
        David Viney, from the Birmingham LGBT Community, said: “It is vitally important that LGBT people take their place in Birmingham’s rich history.”
        The Polish history project will be a series of interviews and photographs collected to create a multi-media exhibition.
        Alicja Kaczmarek, from the Polish Expats Association. said: “We are hoping that this project will promote knowledge and understanding of Polish heritage and culture. “
        Last night Anne Jenkins, Head of the Heritage Lottery Fund in the West Midlands, defended the grants.
        She said: “Heritage is everywhere and means different things to different people and communities.
        “Like the National Lottery it can be enjoyed by everyone. Birmingham has a long and proud history of welcoming all kinds of people.
        “It is important to recognise the contribution that all communities have made to the city’s heritage, its cultural make up and economic growth.
        “We are proud to fund these projects, which are designed to help people learn about one another through the stories of their past, to acknowledge their place in Birmingham today.
        “Properly documenting these kinds of stories in partnership with recognised heritage organisations such as the Birmingham Library and the National Trust’s Back to Backs, will go a long way to creating a deeper understanding of our cities’ shared past.”
        The grants were awarded alongside another grant of £39,900 to Focus Enterprises for research into how services for blind and partially-sighted people developed in the city since 1846 when a small school for blind children was opened.

        The show and tell will discuss the role of the library and archive in providing access to often hidden narratives of art history through a selected display of resources available for staff and visitors researching LGBTQ art.
        The display will feature a selection of key publications from the library and archive collections such as artists’ books, zines, photobooks, exhibition catalogues, monographs, and critical theory, as well as photographs, letters and documents from the archive. The display will explore examples of art and activism, queer self-publishing, language and identity, transgender representation and the photobook, and diverse narratives of art history.

        This three-year project recorded the oral histories of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland's LGBT communities from before decriminalisation in 1967 to the present day.
        The centre is the first of its kind to receive government funding.
        20 volunteers received training in recording and editing oral histories. There were also a number of public events to engage the wider community – which took place during LGBT History Month in February.
        The project launched with a display to attract new volunteers. This was further developed to create a touring exhibition following oral history research. The exhibition is now permanently on display at the centre. A DVD was also produced, which has been deposited at Leicestershire Records Office and Media Archive for Central England. Please visit the official project website for further information.

Our goal is to be part of every Londoner’s life from an early age and to contribute to the city’s international, educational, cultural and economic impetus.
        To achieve this we have five strategic objectives:
        
        Reach more people
        
        Become better known
        
        Stretch thinking
        
        Engage every school child
        
        Stand on our own two feet

        By contrast, The Museum of London has just launched a small foyer exhibition capturing modern gay life. Queer is Here runs until March 5 2006 before touring London libraries. It includes a decade of photographs of Pride events by Peter Marshall, as well as looking at gay activism, health, coming out and bullying in schools.
        The exhibition also features oral histories taken from the British Library Sound Archive, including one from Antony Grey, an early gay activist whose campaigning helped to make homosexuality legal in 1967.
        
        notably the Museum of London's Pride And Prejudice exhibition in 1999.
        The law was repealed in 2003, and February 2006 sees the second Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) History Month. There's a renewed interest in collecting and displaying LGBT histories, and as the subject begins to emerge from the backrooms and into public displays, we take a look at venues where you can explore gay history in London.
        In Victorian London, museums were themselves homophile places. The Greek statue rooms at the British Museum were one place where Victorian men could go and look at the male form without fear of arrest. It's appropriate that one of the closing scenes of EM Forster's gay novel Maurice is set in the museum, where Maurice's lover threatens to reveal their illegal relationship to a passing acquaintance.
      - THE GAY HERITAGE PROJECT (Canada)
        JANUARY 6 - 31
        
        “Funny, imaginative, thought-provoking… a wide-ranging and wildly entertaining inquiry into what it means to be gay.”
        — The Globe & Mail
        Three of our country’s most gifted creator/performers set out to answer one question: is there such a thing as a gay heritage? In their search, they uncover a rich history not often shared and shine new light on contemporary gay culture. The result is a hilarious and moving homage to the people who came before us and the events that continue to shape our lives.
        This Dora-nominated smash hit production and audience favourite comes back to Buddies for a limited engagement before embarking on a nation-wide tour.
        Using their personal histories and individual cultural heritages as jumping off points, each of the three creators behind The Gay Heritage Project set out to discover their connections to queer people and events in the past. Working closely with historian J. Paul Halferty, they spent hours researching the ancient anecdotes, secret correspondences, and overlooked footnotes that currently comprise queer history. What they discovered was an array of heroes and stories that inspire, comfort, challenge, and empower.
        Paul, Damien, and Andrew bring these people and stories to life on stage in rapid-fire succession using a highly physical, comedic, and fast-paced performance style. They offer us an eclectic mix of historical characters and reenactments that shed light on the forgotten champions and occurrences that created our community. In doing so, they educate us about our past and inspire us to further unearth an expansive but overlooked part of our history.

        Emerging within PUBLIC HISTORY studies
        
        Eithne Nightingale and Richard Sandell, ‘Introduction’, in Museums, Equality and Social Justice,
        ed. by Richard Sandell and Eithne Nightingale (Oxon: Routledge, 2012), pp. 1-9, (p. 3).Ideas of social justice are based on the belief that
        public history institutions have the ‘capacity to shape as well as reflect social and political
        relations and to positively impact lived experiences of those who experience
        discrimination and prejudice’.

        My own curisotiy as to how Public History differs from heritage- Hayward- The concept of public
        history as usable – and in turn, the histories within them as ‘usable pasts’ – is essential to
        how it reflects the past and informs the present. Public history is always in flux; it is ‘part
        of a living present constantly being re-created, contested and challenged.’
        
        Hayward:
        Crucial study, highlights importance of community and national archieves, 'tagging project' encouraging the public to get involved in the process new ways of engaging with an outward focus (BM) which will be returned to/ updated case study of national trust collaborated as part of challenging program to create the carvan .

        Hayward describes how there is a tension between community archieved and mainstream archiegves that lies in power; power of the archieve; power of the communits and the power of the archivist (Hayward@ 85)

        It is interesting that while heritage is still perceived to be a conservative field, studies have emerged within arguably more radical strains of public history that the past belongs to everyone way it is used to envoke the present, created new practices and ways of talking about the past. Mark Donnerly Director of Public History soon to publish edited volume provides clarification on the emergence of the disapline. While this is not the focus of this study, why and how author ended up interviewing Mark in a canteen in Twickenham as part of this investigaton will be returned to. Presnetly however, it is signifianct that while persepctions of heritage as a conservative field have gone unchallenged, if not perpectuated that those conserned with queering museums and the presentation of lgbtq within the heritage sector has emerged within newer disaplines particularly as author discovered many had MA’s in public history and Digital Humanities,

        -And to draw explicit attension to the lack of same -sex love between men.
        The use of ‘same-sex love’ and ‘LGBTQ’ highlights both historical distance, and a historical
        continuum. It shows that same-sex acts and behaviours have existed throughout history,but that the concept of a sexual identity, and a community group who share this identity,
        is a modern one
        
        This study use LGBTQ and LGBTQ Heritage, which has been during the year, to explore why the concept is distinctly modern. Appropriate for its emphasis of 'T' Since 2015, Haywards study seen continuing rise of Transrights

        The title of this report reflects the process and journey of this investigation. As it will be explored choices of terminology can reveals as much as the work itself. For example in a ‘little gay history’ Parkinson describes in words and labels, ‘It is quite hard to choose the title of thsmall book, but then words and identities, are almost always difficult things’. The ‘difficilties about the seemingly simple matter of a book’s title hint at the different cultural values that have been places on the apparently universal phenomenon that this book explores: people who tend to desire and love other people of the same-sex.’ (R.B Parkinson:9) (but includeds gender-changing goddesses etc.0
        
        Parkinson also talks of (Re-) Writing histories and ‘Queering’History, but about ‘Queering heritage?’ As the section clonclides ‘ These are just a few pieces -glimpses -of a history as a reminder that diversity is integral to human desire and the whole human condition. Love,desire and gender are never minority concerns. (pg 30)

        HERITAGE AS POLITICAL
        
        THE IDEA OF LEAVING SPACES ‘Disobedient Objects’, which was held at the V&A in 2014-15, exhibited objects relating to
        protests from around the world, including LGBTQ protests. The final wall of the exhibition
        initially displayed a blank square, and explained underneath that, ‘new movements will
        grow during this exhibition. This space is held for future disobedient objects.. Visitors
        to the exhibition took the wall as a space they could contribute to and protest materials,
        including stickers denouncing pay cuts to V&A staff, were attached to the wall and spread
        out across the exhibition. The material left by visitors has since been kept and catalogued
        by the V&A. The organic nature of the political material left by visitors, through which
        others could engage with and learn about contemporary politics, shows that visitors can
        react positively to museums as political places where ideas of social justice can be
        presented and put into practice.
        
        In a poll conducted in 2013 (part of Museums change lives 2013) by the Museums Association,
        for example, 81 per cent of those who took part (all of whom were registered as
        members) answered ‘yes’ to the question ‘should museums promote social justice?’221 Museums Association, Should Museums Promote Social Justice?, 01/05/2013 (2013),
        http://www.museumsassociation.org/museums-journal/news/01052013-should-museums promote-social-justice
        
        Eithne Nightingale and Richard Sandell have argued that in the past two decades,
        discussions about social justice have moved ‘from the margins of museum thinking and
        practice, to the core.’229

        There remains an imbalance between ‘pockets
        of innovation and experimentation’ and ‘widespread wariness, uncertainty, ambivalence
        or disinterest’ in the museum sector: major exhibitions and the integration of histories of same-sex love in mainstream narratives in museums remain the exception, not the
        rule.23Sandell and Frost, ‘A Persistent Prejudice’, p. 151.
      - WITHIN THE HERITAGE SECTOR
        
        2011 - Stuart Frost (will interviewed as part of report) The question of whether museums are doing enough to address LGBT audiences however, remains pertinent and there is still plenty of scope for thoughtful critiques
        of the different approaches that have been adopted to date.

        It is to the museums credit that it has embrassed an alternative approach that will have elicited a wide range of responses from deep engagement to some bemused shrugs of shoulders and confused glances.

    - - Lack of policy guideance- WHY TO HOW
        
        Museums Australia produced a Gay and Lesbian Policy Guideline, which provided advice
        for museums on the best way to integrate LGBTQ histories into their collections and
        displays.281 Although there is no such policy in the UK, the emphasis here is also on
        integration, rather than segregation, of marginalised histories.
        = CHANGE POP publishing advice from Historic England
        
        Needs to be from the top , consequence of lack of expertise in area- marginalisation of the field.
    - - Hayward finds 'spaces can be wueered by destabilising startd approaches to presenting the past - finds examples of shared authority and conribtions as having an essital role in the represtaion of same sex love
        Hayward how different cultures impact on interpretation and represenatonal approaches
        give marginalised voices their own space while also intergreating into borader historical narratives can bring such histories to a borader audience.
