Participate: Help OutHistory.org Make History OutHistory.org is unique in providing a freely accessible, non-profit forum for LGBTQ community members and their friends, including independent and academy-based scholars, to write and publish the history of the LGBT community. The focus for now is on the U.S. and its international relations. OutHistory.org includes articles marked “Open Entry”. These are collaboratively and anonymously created by logged-on users with evidence, citations, and analysis to share. Here’s how to create an “Open Entry” OutHistory.org also includes articles marked “Protected Entry”. These are by named, logged-on creators and can be edited only by that creator or site administrators. So the named author is responsible for the entry’s accuracy, clarity, and source citations. Upon request, the Coordinator of OutHistory.org will protect an entry by a named author from changes. Here’s how to create a Protected Entry For more about how to participate in OutHistory.org see Participate Donate Please contribute to help keep OutHistory.org developing. Every penny counts! From 2011 on, OutHistory.org will depend on donations from individuals like yourself, who understand that preserving the LGBT past is a form of activism -- and a valuable public service.
