A4, one side, black, pink and multi-coloured symbol on white. A4 sheet to advertise "a special event to celebrate LGBT+ history as we explore The Log Books, which bring to life the helpline calls taken by LGBT+ Switchboard volunteers from 1974-1982". It related to the first series of "The Log Books" podcast, which covered LQBTQ+ history, using the log books kept by volunteers of Switchboard (the LGBTQ+ helpline based in Islington) from 1974 as their starting point. The podcast was hosted by Acast and editions were released from 2019 to 2022. The event was hosted by The Outside Project LGBTIQ+ Community Centre, then housed in the old Clerkenwell Fire Station at 42-44 Rosebery Avenue London EC1R 4RX, during LGBT+ History Month 2020.
