Orla Egan, the digital archivist for the Cork LGBT Archive, has developed an Interactive LGBTI+ Walking History Tour in collaboration with Cork Pride. Plaques are being placed on many buildings throughout Cork with QR codes linking to exhibits on the Cork LGBT Archive site, with film, leaflets, and posters.
Cork has a long and rich LGBT+ history which is documented in the Cork LGBT Archive collections. The Cork LGBT Archive was the winner of the DRI Community Archive Scheme 2019 and has been preserved for long-term access in the DRI repository.
