Gay and Lesbian Alliance of Museums Australia (GLAMA)

Gay & Lesbian Alliance of Museums Australia (GLAMA) Special Interest Group

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance of Museums Australia (GLAMA) is a Special Interest Group established to address the needs and interests of members of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex communities, their groups and organisations.

In order to enhance its advocacy role in the museum sector, GLAMA in 1999 developed 'Gay and Lesbian Policy Guidelines for Museum Programs and Practice', view at http://www.museumsaustralia.org.au/dbdoc/glama.pdf . This document addresses issues of importance to the gay and lesbian community. It is hoped that those who work in museums, regardless of their sexuality, will refer to it, in order to inform their decision making regarding the range of activities undertaken within museums, from the management of human resources and collections, to education and training.

GLAMA seeks to work co-operatively with museum staff and members of the GLBTI communities to enhance their experience in the display and interpretation of the GLBTI experience.  

New individual or organisational members are always welcome. Enquiries and comments are invited at any time, as these provide GLAMA with the opportunity to enhance our role within the gay and lesbian and indeed wider communities.
