The UK Leather Archive at Bishopsgate Institute seeks to document and celebrate the history and heritage of the Gay/Bi leather, rubber and fetish communities in the UK, and to provide access to the archive to researchers, students and the general public for education and research. The collection consists of magazines, pamphlets, posters, ephemera, t-shirts and artefacts, alongside minutes, financial records and other archival material from numerous Motor Sports Clubs (MSCs) and groups across the UK. There is also much material regarding the leather, rubber and fetish scene and organisations in Europe.
