"Frequently we are asked where the Fonds Suzan Daniel is housed, and if it is in one of the so-called ‘rainbow houses’. This question requires a complicated and rather time-consuming answer, and sometimes it’s a little bit difficult to explain."
The Fonds Suzan Daniel is a non-profit archive and documentation centre in Belgium. It was named after Suzan Daniel who in 1953 was the first person to start a gay/lesbian group in Belgium. As a neutral, independent and pluralist organization they have been cooperating with mainstream organizations. In his paper, Bart Hellinck reflects upon the challenges of the archive and points out the advantages and disadvantages of their partnerships.

Do you also think it is important for an LGBTI archive to remain independent and stay out of umbrella organizations?What are your ideas about the challenges the organization faces, for instance, in regard to reflecting the diversity of the "LGBT-community"?
