Come along to our first workshop at Bristol Record Office (BRO) for a behind-the-scenes tour of the strongrooms where 800 years of historic documents are stored. Following this we will have a short 'research skills' workshop lead by staff from BRO which caters for complete beginners upwards. Learn about handling documents, the variety of sources available and how to start researching the archives and online sources that can be accessed from BRO. Finally we will put our new-found skills into practice by finding and ordering some LGBT+ themed historic documents and revealing their stories ready to be mapped.

Later in the year we will be uploading the stories to an LGBT+ layer on the Council's Know Your Place site. We'll also be developing a mobile app to explore Bristol's LGBT+ history on the move.
