Rainbow Restoration

An archived concept for a trading-card series sharing the stories of LGBTQIA+ people from history.

The record

What we explored. Where it ended.

  1. The challenge

    Important LGBTQIA+ figures and their place in history are often absent from the everyday materials through which young people discover the past.

  2. The response

    Rainbow Restoration explored a trading-card format that could make those people and stories visible, collectable and easier to discuss.

  3. Where it stands

    The concept did not become an ongoing Helping Group service. It is retained here as part of the organisation’s project archive.

Case study

The longer story.

What the project explored

Rainbow Restoration asked whether a familiar, tangible format could create a more approachable way to encounter LGBTQIA+ history.

The project remained a concept rather than becoming a public service. Its archive page records the question it tried to answer without presenting it as work that is still in development.
