Did you know there's a rich archive of LGBTQ+ stories in Ghana?
We are excited to showcase a digital archive bursting with Ghana's LGBTQ+ history, and we want YOU to be a part of it! Initiated in 2022, the Digital Archive Project, formerly the Research, Documentation and Data Management (RDDM) Project, seeks to gather and document all Ghanaian LGBT+ related information from pre-colonial to present times.
This project shatters the myth that queerness is a recent import. We're on a mission to unearth and celebrate the history of queer identities in Ghana, from pre-colonial eras to the present day. Our archive is brimming with evidence of our collective LGBTQ+ story, and we're building it together!
By gathering and organizing your stories, experiences, and any relevant materials, we can empower a diverse range of individuals. Researchers, human rights activists, educators, policymakers, and the entire community will have access to a user-friendly archive that fuels powerful advocacy and educational initiatives. This project is more than just data; it's about reclaiming our narrative, and your voice matters. We're excited to embark on this journey with you, and together, rewrite the story of queerness in Ghana.
