OutHistory.org

Free. Interesting. Reliable. Educational. It's About Time!

Welcome to the prototype in development of OutHistory.org, a website on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender histories. This prototype focuses on a few aspects of these histories, but our future vision of this site is broad and ambitious. Directed by historian Jonathan Ned Katz, and coordinated by Lynley Wheaton, OutHistory is produced by The Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies (CLAGS), part of the City University of New York. The site’s development is funded by a two-year grant from the Arcus Foundation.

Please explore the site and comment on it, using the "Discuss" option on this page. Comment on a particular entry by using the "Discuss” section of each article.

Finally, we urge you to help OutHistory make history. This is a site to which users can contribute. Take a look at the Participate page and find out how you can submit entries and documents, and offer research, copyediting, administrative, and other skills. If you are ready to contribute, see Help for first steps. Visit the Donations page and help fund the development of this site.
