This website is included in the National Community Archive. License has been granted for inclusion in the British Library UK Web Archive. The website has been made recommended reading by staff member to University students studying LGBT Queer Studies
NB: 2016 :This website in its entirety accepted & acknowledged by the UK Statutory Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse
as CSA victim witness testimony submitted by Malcolm Lidbury against organisations & authorities primarily in Devon & Cornwall
(ie homophobic police & Intercom Trust) which collaborated in ignoring & covering up Child Sexual Abuse
(& further perpetuating homophobic abuse & hate crimes by authorities & organisations).
"When the highly respected LGBT historian Rictor Norton tweeted that gayhistorycornwall.com website was very interesting
...we categorically knew we were getting it right".

"This is rumour control...& here are the facts"
In 2008 it became apparent much of Cornwall's early LGBT social history of later part of the C20th century was being sanitised.
Early LGBT Cornwall community activities, campaigning & achievements were being 'airbrushed' out & erased from official sources of social Cornwall LGBT history month projects by later institutionally funded 'equality & diversity' organisations.
This in part has now been addressed through the Sprocket Trust archive of factual referenced aspects of LGBT history of Cornwall which 'some' in various authorities would prefer others did not know or acknowledge.
