Help OutHistory Make History
Here's how to participate in this website in development on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and, yes, heterosexual history.
| Explore Content
To date, OutHistory has 2,488 articles. Users can "Search" keywords, search by month, day, and year, by century or decade, or by Time era. Users can view featured Exhibits, survey Contents, or browse a Random Page.
As an experiment in history by the people, all logged on users with data or documents and citations to share can create entries, or edit, add to, and improve any entry except those with a named author or curator, 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. |
