About our Exhibits OutHistory’s exhibits collection consists of modules curated by scholars in the field of LGBTQ history in an effort to provide an in depth and authoritative look into certain aspects of queer histories. These exhibits are by no means inclusive of all types of queer people or histories and we are always looking to expand our exhibits. If you are interested in curating an exhibit for OutHistory.org, please email [outhistory@gc.cuny.edu].
