Are you interested in LGBTQ+ history? Do you want to be part of an informal collective research effort? Join a group of volunteers at the LGBTQ+ History Hackathon to help locate historical resources for an LGBTQ+ history online research guide.
Everybody is welcome!
After a brief training session on advanced Google searches, you will work individually or in small groups to identify research resources (databases, archives, websites, etc.) on a particular aspect of LGBTQ+ history. You will create brief descriptions for each resource which will then be added to the LibGuide in the course of 2024/5. We expect to spend up to 2 hours on the Hackathon with a tea/coffee break in between – and will celebrate our joint achievement at a drinks’ reception!
You will be able to join in person in the History Faculty, George St, or remotely via Teams. Watch out for further news when registration opens in Michaelmas Term.
This LGBTQ+ Hackathon follows the success of the Disability History Hackathon: libguides.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/disability-history-resources/home
