LGBTQ+ Timeline

About the project

The Museum of Cardiff has worked with historian Norena Shopland to develop a LGBTQ+ timeline for Cardiff.

Norena worked with Welsh Government to develop different timelines around all the counties in Wales. Norena compiled the baseline information for the Cardiff LGBTQ+ timeline and Museum of Cardiff and Amgueddfa Cymru added collections information in consultation with members of different LGBTQ+ organisations in Cardiff.

Sharing ideas

Museum of Cardiff held a discussion panel event, sharing LGBTQ+ stories and experiences from different points in Cardiff’s history.

Panellists included representatives from Glitter Cymru, Pride Cymru, The Queer Emporium, Cardiff Songbirds and G(end)er Swap. A question and answer session provided further opportunity to discuss what should be included in Cardiff’s LGBTQ+ timeline.
