The ArQuives’ National Survey

  • The ArQuives’ National Survey

    Hello and welcome!

  • The ArQuives: Canada’s LGBTQ2+ Archives was founded in 1973 and remains one of the largest 2SLGBTQIA+ collections of stories, documents and artifacts in the world.  With support from Women and Gender Equality Canada we’ve launched Community Ties: Our Future Together, an initiative to broaden and deepen our impact across Canada. For guidance we’re gathering the thoughts and opinions of people from members of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities from coast to coast to coast.

    Whether you’re familiar with The ArQuives or not, we want to hear from you!

    This survey will take about 10 minutes to complete. As our way of saying thanks, we are offering a chance to WIN one of FIVE ArQuives tote bag prize packs (merchandise valued at $150)!

    Please note that your individual responses will be kept confidential and anonymized. 

    If you require additional accessibility support or have any questions, please email us at projectcoordinator@arquives.ca and we will do our best to assist you.
