Irish Queer Archive

Irish Queer Archive (IQA) () is a comprehensive collection of material in Ireland relating to homosexuality, LGBT literature and general queer studies.

The Archive contains the most comprehensive collection of material in Ireland relating to homosexuality in particular and LGBT studies in general. There are some quarter-million press cuttings from the late 1960s onwards, a library of several hundred international titles (the earliest, a US title, dates from 1951), a complete set of every lesbian/gay title (periodicals and single issues) published since 1974 on the island of Ireland, and a collection of audiovisual material, photographs and slides, flyers, posters, badges and other ephemera. Among the private papers and organisational records are the archives of Alternative Miss Ireland, the Dublin Lesbian & Gay Film Festival GAZE, National LGBT Federation, Irish Gay Rights Movement, Gay Health Action, GLEN, Lesbians Organising Together, Dublin LGBTQ+ Pride Festival, and ''Gay Community News''.

The Irish Queer Archive was presented in 2008 to the National Library of Ireland following a decision to donate it by the National LGBT Federation. IQA is a living archive and continues to accept donations and deposits. Provided by Wikipedia
