The Edmonton Queer History Project (EQHP) is a community-engaged research project focused on documenting, preserving, and making visible the history of Edmonton's 2SLGBTQ+ community. One of EQHP's most prominent initiatives is a map of 27 locations around Downtown Edmonton, each with historical significance to the local 2SLGBTQ+ community, that was initially launched in March 2022.[1][2] The Project also launched an interactive website, two podcasts (From Here to Queer and Vriend Versus Alberta), and regularly hosts walking tours following the EQHP downtown map to promote the city's queer history that is often absent in school curriculum and left out of public conversation.[3]
