Help OutHistory Make History
This is a prototype of OutHistory.org, a website in development on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and, yes, heterosexual history. It presents a sampling of many different types of content to suggest what this site can one day become. Here's how to use the site and to help create OutHistory:
| Explore Content
To date, OutHistory has 2,488 entries. Users can "Search" keywords, search by month, day, and year, by century or decade, or by time era, or view featured Exhibits, survey Contents, or browse a Random Page. Provide Content As an experiment in history by the people, all logged on users with data, documents, citations, or skills to share can create entries, or edit, add to, and improve any entry except those with a named creator, or those closed to protect their content. Practice editing in the Sandbox. For how to create entries, volunteer data, documents, citations, and edits, and to help with research, fact-checking, copyediting, administration, technical matters, graphic design, fundraising, publicity, and any other aspect of the site see Participate. |
Discuss Content
All users can comment on the site and network with others via the Discuss option on the Main Page top bar. All users can comment on a particular entry and network about it via the "Discuss” section of that entry. Solve Mysteries, Fill in Stubs, Research Requests Users can Solve Historical Mysteries, search incomplete Stub Articles, and respond to Research Requests and fill in missing data.

Welcome to OutHistory.org, the town clock around which all of us interested in the history of sexuality and gender can gather to exchange news of the latest historical detective work, the startling new clue discovered, the mystery unraveled -- the town clock whose hourly chime reminds us of time’s passage and the substantial changes in the acts, feelings, ideas, and relationships of people within society and time.
