GUIDING OBJECTIVE OF WESTPRIDE ARCHIVES
The guiding objective of WestPride Archives is to recover, collect, preserve, organise, and make accessible materials created by and/or relevant to our communities, lives and experiences as Western Australians who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual and more (LGBTQIA+), and with the broadening range of sexualities and gender and sex identities that are and have been emerging over time.

WestPride Archives is dedicated to collecting published and archival materials that reveal the lives and experiences of LGBTQIA+ individuals, organisations and communities in Western Australia. Furthermore, WestPride Archives seeks to document the experiences of individuals and organisations who have strived for social, political, and cultural change for LGBTQIA+ people in Western Australia. We strive to collect information revealing the attitude of governments, the law and broader society towards LGBTQIA+ people in this State, including material antagonistic to LGBTQIA+ individuals, organisations and communities, as well as uncovering the experiences of everyday LGBTQIA+ people across WA.
