The collection of Society for Queer Memory represents a unique set of daily needs items, printed materials, private funds and oral testimonies capturing the history, memory and everydayness of LGBT/queer people living in Czech milieu. The oldest members of the community are perceived as bearers of a specific historical memory based on their experience of the second half of the 20th century, when they were criminalized and subjected to repression by the state. Thus, the collection focuses also on defensive strategies of “dual life” of this particular social group, both official and private.

A szociológia, a többi társadalomtudományhoz hasonlóan, erős politikai nyomás alatt volt a szocialista időszakban. A Szociológiai Kutatócsoport 1963-as megalapítása után a szociológusok megpróbálták lerázni magukról a politika szolgálólánya szerepét. Kialakult a “kritikai szociológia,” mert a tudósok nem voltak hajlandóak legitimálni a kommunsta rendszert. A gyűjtemény ennek a folyamatát mutatja be, a tudósok és a hatalom közötti küzdelmet.

The collection is the second largest repository of Polish independent publications on the British Isles. Its origins date back to the late 1970s when the British Library acquired first issues of underground newsletters and periodicals released by opposition groups. The collection consists of books, periodicals and ephemeral publications and demonstrates the strength, proliferation and domestic and international impact of the underground publishing in Poland from 1976 to 1989.

Sorin Costina’s private collection is illustrative of the visual art that evaded the official aesthetic canons of the communist regime in Romania. The collection is all the more valuable as the artists represented in it, who were marginal in the last two decades of communism, when ideological control became stricter and stricter, received due recognition both nationally and internationally after 1989.
