'A goldmine for anyone seeking to reinvigorate their hearts, minds and toolkits for activism, harvested from beautiful case studies of queer life and love that have been hidden. until now.' Dan Glass, author and activist 'Proof we've always been here, proof of all we've fought for, proof that we need to keep fighting now more than ever.' Charlie Craggs, actress and activist 'Our histories are often unspoken or erased, so this lovely treasure trove provides a wealth of fascinating insights into the personal lives, stories, activism, communities, art and desire of queer people that have occurred since the post-war period. Highly recommended!' Paul Baker, author of Fabulosa! 'Queer life bursts from these pages, messy and touching and grubby and gorgeous. The voices of A queer scrapbook have something urgent to say to everyone: it's a treasure trove of historical sources and community across time, and it will hold you as you hold it.' Kit Heyam, author of Before We Were Trans 'Leaps energetically from moment to moment, place to place - a book as delightfully idiosyncratic as queer and trans history itself.' Morgan M.

Page, author and activist 'Wonderfully researched and richly illustrated, A queer scrapbook is the next best thing to being in a queer archive. Not only a brilliant introduction to queer history but a thoughtful commentary on the future of queer archival work.' Elizabeth Lovatt, author of Thank You for Calling the Lesbian Line 'Queer history is often about lives lived in the margins: notes scrawled on scraps of paper, homemade zines, blurry Polaroids and photocopied posters. A queer scrapbook is an ode to this history, an authoritative and comprehensive collection of queer life in Britain over the past eighty years. More than this, it's a love letter to the real queer people of Britain, not just the celebrities or the uber rich. Everyday people who built their own communities from scratch, despite incredible hardship. This book will make you happy, will make you proud, not in a fluffy corporate way, but in seeing real queer people changing the world - one flyer, Post-it note or cartoon strip at a time.' Sacha Coward, author of Queer as Folklore.
