Research

The work of OurStory Scotland involves first-hand research work, collecting stories and materials of the LGBT community in Scotland. This provides a remarkable resource for researchers into the experience and needs of the LGBT community. We have presented papers in journals, and at conferences and workshops, on the content and methods of our work in collecting, archiving and presenting our stories, on narratives of identity and on implications for policy and practice.

A good place to start is the article that reviews the wide range of storytelling methods we have used throughout Scotland:
