ARCHER MAGAZINE: A HISTORY

Archer Magazine was founded back in 2013 by queer journalist and writer Amy Middleton, with the help of with a small team of volunteers.

Right before Covid hit, Archer was about to start breaking even for the first time. Due to the pandemic’s impact on advertising dollars, arts funding and the economy at large, revenue was down more than 90%, and Archer faced closure.

Drummond Street Services knew the closure of this crucial publication would impact the wellbeing of countless people in marginalised communities, and stepped in to support.

Drummond Street have provided Archer with funding support through its toughest years. Now it’s your turn to help Archer platform the most needed voices in our communities.
