UCL has trial access to Eastern European LGBTQ Collection and Estoniia Digital Archive from East View until 19th March 2024.

Eastern European LGBTQ Collection : with the resurgence of conservative political activism in Eastern Europe, LGBTQ persons and LGBTQ activism are largely rejected for undermining national values and social cohesion. Although there have been advances in legal protections accorded to LGBTQ persons, their presence and visibility in the public space remains broadly misunderstood, mischaracterized, and vigorously contested.

This collection of ephemera, (brochures, clothing items, booklets, flyers, etc.) offers important insights into LGBTQ activism in Eastern Europe and the Balkans in the past decade

Modelled after popular Western newspapers, it was dedicated to covering domestic and foreign politics, the economy, culture, the arts, and literature. The newspaper changed its name to Vesti dnia in 2004, however due to financial difficulties and increased competition it ceased publication in 2009.

Refugees, Relief and Resettlement: Forced Migration and World War II chronicles the plight of refugees and displaced persons across Europe, North Africa, and Asia from 1935 to 1950, bringing together over 590,000 pages of pamphlets, ephemera, government documents, relief organization publications, and refugee reports that recount the causes, effects and responses to refugee crises before, during and shortly after World War II.

Documentation offers a first-hand record of the response of governments to various crises and shifts in policy; a chronicling of the aid work undertaken by NGOs and charities seeking to provide relief and aid in resettlement; and a recognition through individual narratives of the daily reality of the refugee experience. This archive enables researchers to examine not only the plight of those forced to resettle inside and outside their national borders, but also the many types of refugee situations that arose, from voluntary evacuations and the internment of individuals in displaced person (DP) camps to whole population transfers and the return of forced laborers.
