'Perverse Collections' (PERCOL) asks: how can a critical and nuanced understanding of the evolution of Europe's LGBTQ+ archives be used by scholars, queer and trans community members, and GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) sector workers to forge sustainable strategies for protecting LGBTQ+ history, and in what ways might this have transformative potential for cultural heritage politics and policy more broadly? To this end, the project will map the growth of Europe's queer and trans archives, from the 1970s to the present; it will comparatively explore the workings of these collections, including their relations to forms of state support, the understandings of LGBTQ+ history they promote locally, nationally, and internationally, and the alternative models of archiving some embody. PERCOL will identify the implications of queer and trans collections for other subaltern archives, as well as the wider cultural heritage sector, in terms of the challenges they present to dominant historical and political narratives, the complex polyphonic community politics they can reveal, and their creative handling of ephemeral experiences. Working with an array of European cultural heritage institutions, as well as a broad cross-section of invested stakeholders, the project team will draw from the history of Europe's queer and trans archives to model innovative strategies for preserving and sustaining LGBTQ+ cultural heritage. The project is situated in a live political context: as homophobic and transphobic acts of violence and discrimination rise across Europe, fomented in some countries by the prejudicial rhetoric of right-wing political groups, the project will argue for the social, cultural and political value of archiving LGBTQ+ lives and experiences, and for the wider ethical significance of supporting and maintaining a transnational ecology of subaltern collections.

“反常收藏”（PERCOL）问：如何才能批判性和细致入微地了解欧洲的LGBTQ+档案的演变被学者，酷儿和跨社区成员，以及GLAM（画廊，图书馆，档案馆，博物馆）部门工作人员用来制定可持续的战略，以保护LGBTQ+历史，以及在什么样的方式可能有变革的潜力，文化遗产的政治和政策更广泛？为此，该项目将绘制欧洲的酷儿和跨性别档案的增长，从20世纪70年代到现在;它将比较探索这些收藏的运作，包括它们与国家支持形式的关系，对LGBTQ+历史的理解，他们在当地，国家和国际上促进，以及存档的替代模式。PERCOL将确定酷儿和跨收集的影响，为其他下属档案，以及更广泛的文化遗产部门，在他们提出的挑战，以占主导地位的历史和政治叙事方面，他们可以揭示复杂的复调社区政治，以及他们的创造性处理短暂的经验。该项目团队将与一系列欧洲文化遗产机构以及广泛的投资利益相关者合作，借鉴欧洲酷儿和跨性别档案的历史，为保护和维持LGBTQ+文化遗产的创新战略建模。该项目位于一个活生生的政治背景下：随着欧洲各地恐同和恐变性的暴力和歧视行为的上升，在一些国家由右翼政治团体的偏见言论煽动，该项目将主张归档LGBTQ+生活和经历的社会，文化和政治价值，以及支持和维护跨国生态的更广泛的道德意义。
