The ArQuives

9 years ago, The ArQuives began the work of making the collection accessible through the introduction of our Online Collection Portal.

Today, over 10,000 people from around the world visit the Online Collection Portal to explore 2SLGBTQIA+ history every year.

In 2025, Grade 10 Students from Garth Webb Secondary School, HDSB, accessed The ArQuives collections to create the award winning digital exhibit The HISTORYTELLERS Project.

The digital collection and users are growing.

We are ready and able to tackle digital collections and digitized projects.

The ArQuives needs your help to invest in the infrastructure and software to take the next step in bringing communities together through increased digital access.

Every Story, Everywhere.

Help us increase access to 2SLGBTQIA+ history for all communities.
