| History of Midsumma |

|
Since 1988, the Midsumma Festival has been Victoria's premier gay and lesbian arts and cultural festival, presenting an annual community celebration and encouraging the development of innovative artistic content and a unique cultural experience. We believe that maintaining a history of Midsumma is just one of the ways that we can recognise the efforts of those people and organisations which have been, and continue to be, an integral part of Midsumma's history. The online History Book has been compiled from contributions solicited from past and present Board members and volunteers of Midsumma throughout its history. Midsumma has made no attempt to verify the accuracy of the information provided by the contributors - each account is an independent story. Any views or opinions expressed are those of the authors and are not endorsed by Midsumma. Because of Midsumma's rich history, it is inevitable that, at different times and in different places, people have different recollections of events. There is no one official history of Midsumma - each and every story is, in part, our history. If you disagree with any account of events in the History Book, we invite you to submit your own. Have you ever been involved with Midsumma in the past, and are you able to contribute any content, memorabilia or suggestions? If so, please contact us. We'd love to hear from you, and would appreciate receiving a few paragraphs about your involvement with the festival, and perhaps how things evolved while you were around. All stories will be considered for publication and if successful, your name will also be included (if you wish it to be). Major Milestones
