Mapping LGBT Histories with Outstories Bristol

这个项目是布里斯托大学的研究人员、社区团体“Outstories布里斯托”和“Freedom Youth”、布里斯托市理事会和布里斯托记录办公室之间的合作。它遵循从AHRC资助的赠款，知道你的布里斯托在移动。该项目让布里斯托的女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和变性者（LGBT）居民使用数字化工具研究、撰写和绘制LGBT历史。其目的是使LGBT历史成为布里斯托官方历史的一部分，并通过这样做，在公众视野中，在规划过程中和当地学校中提高LGBT人群的声音。关于布里斯托LGBT历史的新材料将在一系列活动中收集，以及通过在项目过程中接受培训的志愿者进行的深入口述历史访谈。收集到的材料将被数码拍照或记录，并与BRO现有的LGBT档案材料一起沿着，将上传到布里斯托市理事会的在线历史地图网站，了解你的位置（KYP）。KYP是布里斯托市理事会在制定场所和规划决策时参考的历史环境记录的视觉表示。将LGBT历史纳入地图，从而纳入历史环境记录，为LGBT声音干预正式规划过程提供了一种方式。为了确保收集到的材料可以随时访问LGBT社区，并可以继续添加到项目的生命周期之外，我们将创建一个用户友好的界面嵌入在Outstories布里斯托自己的网站。这个界面也将作为一个通用的开源WordPress插件发布，其他社区团体可以下载并使用它来显示来自KYP或任何其他Arc-Gis地图数据库的历史地图图层。由于KYP将在西南部扩展，因此其潜在用户群非常高。志愿者收集的材料还将用于制作一系列新资源，包括数字故事地图（每个图像或文本链接到地图上的一个地方的数字故事），突出了LGBT社区中不同群体（例如女同性恋，变性人）的独特经历，以及一个移动的应用程序，该应用程序将通过步行图尔斯与布里斯托的LGBT历史互动。与LBGT青年团体，自由青年和布里斯托大学的学生社团，LGBT+合作，我们将共同开发和共同提供一系列的关键阶段4课程资源。学校工作的一个关键成果将是解决学校中的同性恋和变性人欺凌问题。虽然大学在这方面的作用是关键，但它绝不是主要合作伙伴。该项目由Outstories布里斯托发起，并与他们共同设计。这种合作制作的过程是该项目创新性的核心，并将在其成功中发挥至关重要的作用。该项目将触及布里斯托的一部分人口，他们在历史上一直被边缘化，在城市的主流历史记录中基本上是不可见的。这将使该小组能够参与规划过程，并通过老年受访者与自由青年之间的联系促进代际对话和支持。它将把LGBT历史纳入主流，将其纳入官方的布里斯托市理事会数字历史地图“了解你的位置”，并将其嵌入当地学校的课程。

This project is a collaboration between researchers at the University of Bristol; the community groups, Outstories Bristol and Freedom Youth; Bristol City Council and Bristol Record Office. It follows on from the AHRC-funded grant, Know Your Bristol On The Move. The project engages lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) residents of Bristol in researching, writing and mapping LGBT history using digital tools. The aim is to mainstream LGBT history as part of the official history of Bristol, and through doing so, to raise the voices of LGBT people in the public eye, in the planning process and in local schools.New material on Bristol's LGBT history will be gathered at a series of events, as well as through in-depth oral history interviews conducted by volunteers who will be trained over the course of the project. The collected material will be digitally photographed or recorded and, along with existing LGBT archive materials held at BRO, will be uploaded to Bristol City Council's online historical mapping website, Know Your Place (KYP). KYP is a visual representation of the Historic Environment Record which Bristol City Council refers to for placemaking and when making planning decisions. The inclusion of LGBT history on the map, and therefore on the Historic Environment Record, provides a way for LGBT voices to intervene in the formal planning process. In order to ensure that collected material is readily accessible to LGBT communities and can continue to be added to beyond the lifetime of the project, we will create a user-friendly interface embedded in Outstories Bristol's own website. This interface will also be published as a generic open-source Wordpress plugin that can be downloaded and used by other community groups to display their own historical map layer from KYP or, indeed, any other Arc-Gis map database. Since KYP is set to expand across the South West, the potential user base for this is very high. The material collected by volunteers will also be used to produce a series of new resources, including digital story-maps (digital stories where each image or text links to a place on the map) that highlight the distinctive experiences of different groups within the LGBT community (e.g. lesbian, transgender), and a mobile app that will enable engagement with Bristol's LGBT history through walking tours. Working with the LBGT youth group, Freedom Youth and Bristol University's student society, LGBT+, we will co-develop and co-deliver a series of Key Stage 4 curriculum resources. A key outcome of the schools work will be tackling homophobic and transphobic bullying in schools.While the university's role here is key, it is by no means the lead partner. This project was initiated by Outstories Bristol and has been co-designed with them. This process of co-production is central to the project's innovative nature and will play an crucial role in its success.The project will reach a section of the Bristol population which has been historically marginalised and is largely invisible in mainstream historical accounts of the city. It will allow this group to intervene in the planning process and promote intergenerational dialogue and support through the connection between older interviewees and Freedom Youth. It will mainstream LGBT history by including it on the official Bristol City Council digital history map, Know Your Place, and by embedding it within the curriculum in local schools.
