An article from The Echo newspaper, dated 23 October, 2019, about LGBTQ+ activist Orla Egan and the work she is doing to digitise the Cork LGBT Archive collection. She talks about the collection starting from the hundreds of items that Arthur Leahy kept in his basement and the Cork City Council Heritage Grant that allowed the documents to be stored safely. The grant also allowed her to publish a book 'Queer Republic of Cork'.
