An introduction is presented in which the editor discusses various reports within the issue on topics including the incorporation of LGBT knowledge in the archives, the Lesbian Herstory Archives (LHA), and LGBT archival practice.

The article explores the use of the queer archive in teaching sex and sexuality in public schools. A background of the development of the archive in 1978 and its role in education is given. Policies that help guide appropriateness of content, such as Supporting Sexual Diversity in Schools in 2008, is discussed. The teaching approach in using the non-traditional archive-based education are also examined where learning can involve group-based workshops heavy on interative methods.
