This exhibition has been produced by Humanists UK in partnership with Conway Hall, as part of their Humanist Heritage: Doers, Dreamers, Place Makers project, made possible by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. We thank all our volunteers for their generosity of time and passionate engagement with the LGBT Humanists archive. The printed reproductions of archival ephemera in our labels were made possible by the diligent digitisation work of Kate Schotness, facilitated by the brilliant team at Bishopsgate Insititute, who have also kindly permitted elements of the LGBT Humanists archive to go on display in this exhibition. We also thank our oral history volunteers (Nick Baldwin, Polly Bodgener, Eren Delaney, Laurie Esdale, Kim Heaney, Max Heasman, Yirou Majo, Jess Martinez Gorman, Lotte Murphy-Johnson, Mia Nathan, Kate Schotness, and Richard Welch), who conducted interviews with LGBT Humanists and selected excerpts for this exhibition. We are also very grateful to our volunteers Beth Brown, Mariana Dantas, Chiara Ispani, Zosia Kuczyńska, and Steve Ratcliff, for their work interpreting our archival materials and contributing to the production of thematic labels in our exhibition. And we thank Sufiyeh Hadian, Nino Strachey, Eren Delaney, Mariana Dantas, and Claire Mead for their contributions to researching the pre-1979 historical figures we document in this exhibition. Our heartfelt thanks go to our oral history interviewees (Adèle Anderson, George Askwith, Nick Baldwin, Tony Challis, David Christmas, Andrew Copson, Jeremy Gavins, Adam Knowles, Chris Lynch, Bill Miller, Ian Smith, Rolf Solheim, Spyros Stergiakis, Peter Tatchell, Richard Unwin, and Alex Williams), whose poignant testimonies will be added to the LGBT Humanists archives at the Bishopsgate Institute for perpetuity. Many thanks are due to our visual artists, Alice Gabb, SL Grange, River Manning, Claire Mead, and E.M. Parry, as well as to our graphic designer Zarna Hart. And thank you to the staff at Humanists UK and Conway Hall who made this showcase possible, especially regarding the logistical support from Holly Elson and Glenys Adelusi, the archival materials provided by Olwen Terris, the leadership of Humanist Heritage Coordinator Maddy Goodall, and the curatorial vision of Heritage Project Officer Cas Bradbeer.
