THE LINDEN ARCHIVES
01
The Linden Archives were created primarily over a decade from 1990 to 1999. Touring the queer scene of mostly northern England with the occasional foray south to London and Brighton for major events. The photographs were commissioned by Gay Times and All Points North Magazines for scene reviews which I also wrote the text for.
In the 2022 the archive was digitised and led to numerous magazine interviews, BBC tv and Radio appearances and to date 2 photobooks published. The main viewing platform for the photographs now is on Instagram @linden_archives
Photographs from the archive have been acquired by Manchester City Art Gallery for their permanent collections.

"Linden's archival images changed lives. This book is a friend who takes you by the hand and leads you into an incredible party, you're on the guest list and you are absolutely fucking welcome."
