GALA and you.
Visit
The Gala Offices are open to the public during week days from 8:30 – 4:00,
excluding public holidays.
Our small library is a communal space that is generally occupied by researches using the archive, students and other walk-ins needing a quite place to study and the Gala YOUth Forum on Thursday evenings. o The archival material can only be accessed by appointment, thus, if you are interested in viewing archival material, please have a look at the guide to get a sense of what you would be interested in seeing and contact the archivist to set up an appointment.

Gala operates on a small staff and has limited capacity. If you have any skills or time
to offer to Gala, please feel free to set up a meeting with one of us.

The Gala Archive is a living archive. This means that we never stop collecting. Gala
has an ongoing collections policy that covers queer African history, as well as
contemporary news and events.
