Its primary aim is to encourage better understanding of historical and contemporary LGBT experience. Since modern terminology cannot easily be used to understand this aspect of the past, research into LGBT history can be difficult and time consuming, and researchers are often confronted with negative attitudes contained within the records, or with the absence of a historical record. Contained within this guide are case studies using exemplar material housed at Glamorgan Archives.
