Over the last year we’ve been developing a map and mobile app of Bristol’s LGBT+ history. Now we want your help to create a series of digital story maps from the collected material.
Story Maps link points on a map to tell a story using images, text audio and video. See this one on Bristol’s Bearpit as an example. LGBT+ Bristol story maps could focus on a person of interest, like Michael Dillon, a social movement or group like Bristol’s Campaign for Homosexual Equality or one aspect of the diversity that is LGBT+ life. With over 150 LGBT+ points on the map ranging from the 1750s to the present, there is no shortage of material to draw on. The only piece missing is you.
