據聞這個收藏中心在學術界相當知名，我們的華老師也是熱烈支持的使用者之一，館方還收錄一段華老師的推薦，讚美它是研究的天堂：

“LAGNA is unique, a living, accessible archive offering wonderful glimpses of ordinary and extraordinary lives. It's an invaluable resource not just for historians of the lesbian and gay community, but for anyone interested in British social history. I am thrilled to know that it has found a new champion in the form of the Bishopsgate Institute, an establishment with a longstanding commitment to nurturing independent thought. Really, LAGNA and the Bishopsgate Institute: it's a civil partnership made in heaven!”
