Evening Echo newspaper, dated 27 December, 2016, and titled "Project will preserve". Ellie O'Byrne interviews Orla Egan, an LGBTQ+ activist, founder of the Cork LGBT Archive and author. Orla speaks about the launch of her new book, Queer Republic of Cork, held in the Quay Co-op. The book is a Cork-specific LGBTQ+ history from the 1970's to the 1990's and covers topics such as telephone helplines, the AIDs crisis and The Butterfly Club. She also discusses the creation of the Cork LGBT Archive, the Arthur Leahy Collection and the Heritage Council grant that allowed them to purchase acid-free boxes to house the collection. The article contains three pictures of Orla Egan and her family.
