About
Six Aspects of OutHistory.org
by Jonathan Ned Katz, OutHistory Director
1 OutHistory is a site about lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and heterosexual history.
2 The site incorporates elements of an encyclopedia, an archive, and a museum, but it focuses on the various, creative ways it can help all of us understand the activities of human beings over time, within changing social and historical structures.
3 Entries may or may not include original research, and all must strive for verifiable accuracy. Unreferenced or badly referenced entries may be removed, so please provide full references.
4 Factual claims and statements must be clearly distinguished from analysis and interpretation. Personal opinions, personal experiences, and arguments may be included if presented as such and if they are clearly relevant to a particular entry, and help to enlarge users understanding.
5 OutHistory is not an indiscriminate collection of information, a soapbox, an advertising platform. a vanity press, or an experiment in anarchy. It is an experiment in the democratic creation of reliable historical content and its free distribution for non-commercial, not-for-profit educational purposes
6 The administration of OutHistory.org is provided by a paid Project Coordinator and paid website builders and maintainers, and by volunteers.
7 Anyone can discuss the site or discuss a particular entry. The content of OutHistory.org is volunteered by historically oriented users, researchers, and historians or solicited from them. Inspired by Wikipedia, anyone with data, reference citations, and historical information to share can create an unsigned entry that any other user can improve. Other entries, by named writers, editors, or curators, can only be edited by them, and by site administrators.
Site Producer
OutHistory is produced by The Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies (CLAGS), under the guidance of its director, Sarah E. Chinn. CLAGS is an institute at the City University of New York Graduate Center. The site's Director and initiator is Jonathan Ned Katz. The site's Coordinator is Lauren Gutterman.
Past Support
The development of OutHistory.org is funded by a two-year grant (2007-2008) from the Arcus Foundation. The 2007 OutHistory Advisors' Meeting was catered thanks to a donation by Florent Morellet of Restaurant Florent. An earlier grant to Jonathan Ned Katz from the late Joan R. Heller and her partner, Dr. L. Diane Bernard, encouraged his development of this site. (See History of OutHistory.org, below.)
Future Support
CLAGS is seeking other sources of financial support to make sure that OutHistory.org continues in 2009 and into the future. If you can help, please go to the Donate section of the site.
Content
This first prototype of OutHistory.org focuses on six Exhibits on LGBTQ history in the United States, and includes a variety of other content. But the future possibilities of this site are as wide as the world, and as open as all of us can collectively imagine.
Contributors
The content of this site is volunteered by and solicited from authors, curators, editors, researchers, and independent and institutionally-based scholars, named on their entries. Inspired by Wikipedia, OutHistory.org also encourages all its users to discuss the site and each article.
Also inspired by Wikipedia, as an experiment in history by the people, we encourage users to provide the site with documents, data and citations, articles, photos, administrative aid, and any kind of assistance they can. Users of OutHistory can help OutHistory make history. With the participation of users this site will grow, develop, and be institutionally supported over the long-run.
Contributors' Guidelines
All contributors to OutHistory.org aspire to a high standard of reliability as to factual claims. And, as often as possible, contributors provide complete source citations. Contributors also honor the variety of different and sometimes opposed interpretations of data.
- Contributors to this project, support the development of this ambitious, freely accessible, educational website on lesbian, gay, transgender, bisexual, and queer (LGTBQ) history.
- Contributors agree that here, time is of the essence. The basic aim of this site is to provide a specifically temporal, historical perspective on the LGTBQ experience. Therefore, contributors to the site and its producers strive to develop creative, innovative ways of representing history and time, change and stasis in the social life and environments of LGBTQ people -- the “who, where, what, how,” and especially the “when” of their history. To realize this focus on time and history, contributors appreciate that content additions should include dates and time references that will allow users to search for time-coded content and create timelines on specific topics.
- Contributors understand this site to be institutionally based and organized as a not-for-profit educational project intended to operate as a long-term community service. As such, the site will expand and change over time as research, evidence, interpretations and the interests of scholars, contributors, and users change, history moves on, and the present becomes the past.
- Contributors appreciate that present concerns inform research on the past, and that this site can provide illuminating historical perspectives on subjects of current topical interest. Documenting and analyzing the past can help us all better understand the present.
- Contributors will strive to place the history of LGTBQ people and their society within the larger histories of sexuality and intimacy, sex and gender, the polity and economy.
- Contributors will try to situate the history of LGTBQ people in the context of distinctions in age, bodily and mental differences, class, ethnicity, geography, ideology, power, race, religion, and other historically and socially influential divisions.
- Contributors will attempt to understand the history of homosexuals and homosexuality in relation to the history of heterosexuals and heterosexuality, and vice versa.
- Contributors appreciate that this site will serve an unmet need for a major, web-based repository of reliable knowledge and diverse interpretations of the LGTBQ past, supplementing, enhancing, and positively collaborating with other current and future efforts to put LGTBQ history on the web.
- Because volunteer contributors to this site can play a major role in providing it with user-created content, the administrators and producers of the site will do everything they can to encourage such participation. The site’s administrators and producers will provide web-based forms and a framework to encourage submissions by teachers and students, institutionally affiliated and independent scholars, and members of the interested public. The administrators will also solicit content of various kinds.
- Contributors will strive to achieve and maintain the highest possible standards of historical accuracy, whenever possible backing up factual statements by full, detailed citations of sources and the presentation of evidence. They will clearly distinguish factual claims from interpretive analysis and moral judgments, and present disputed facts, interpretations, and judgments as such.
- Contributors to this site understand this project to be a collaborative effort to which many people will contribute work of different kinds: administrative, analytical, copy editing, editorial, financial planning and fundraising, interpretation of evidence, research, secretarial help, site critiques, technical assistance, theoretical analysis, writing, etc.
- Contributors realize that, as a collaborative effort, this site will reflect and express the interests of its diverse contributors and users, aiming at audiences of many kinds, based on distinctions in age, class, ethnicity, geography, race, etc.
- Contributors understand that this site will attempt to highlight traditionally understudied areas of LGTBQ history (that of African Americans, Native Americans, youths, elders, and transgender people, for example).
- Contributors to this site will strive to present written texts in language clear, lively, and engaging, and visual and aural content of kinds appealing to a wide range of diverse users.
- The site will publish content of a wide variety of types: documentary evidence, original texts, republished articles and books and parts thereof, materials about individual lives and group experiences, oral histories, bibliographic sources, static photographs, motion pictures, videos, fine art and popular culture representations, etc.
- The publication of original documents not elsewhere or readily available may turn out to be one of the most valuable services that OutHistory.org can provide. Contributors to this site will thus make a special effort to provide it with copies of such difficult to find court records, diaries, letters, rare printed accounts, ephemera, photographs, movies, TV, audio recordings, etc. Such documents will be most valuable to the site if provided in photographic and/or electronically searchable formats.
- Contributors to this site agree that, in order to maintain its credibility, interest, and variety, its editorial directors and administrators may sometimes need to correct factual inaccuracies, question, edit, shorten, expand, or eliminate factual and interpretive statements. Adjudication of any ongoing disputes will be provided for as it is on Wikipedia.

Website Design
The site is designed and maintained by Cidamon.com: http://cidamon.com/index.html
History of OutHistory.org
In the early-1980s, while working as secretary to the contract director of a major educational publisher, Jonathan Ned Katz first learned to use a computer, and fantasized that this huge, multi-floor office was actually a "gay history factory," and that the hundreds of people working busily in cubicles were actually researchers, paid to dig up forgotten bits of the LGBTQ past. The present LGBTQ history website is the realization of Katz's history factory dream.
In 2003, a friend of Katz's, Barbara Todd Kerr, who worked as a producer at Mediapolis, a website development company, introduced him to Mediapolis founder and director Carl Pritzkat. Katz asked Pritizkat if his company would create, pro bono, a website on LGBTQ history. Prtizkat suggested the name OutHistory.org and began developing the site, to which Katz began to add content.
In 2004, while Katz was teaching at Yale University, the first version of OutHistory.org went on line, featuring a detailed, original biography of a Yale major donor, the lawyer John William Sterling and his live-in companion of 40 years, James Bloss. (That biography now appears on the present OutHistory.org.)
In 2005, a grant of $5,000 from the Zebra Fund via the Funding Exchange, facilitated by program officer Marcia Gallo through the generosity of the late Joan R. Heller and her partner, Dr. L. Diane Bernard, encouraged Katz to investigate the various commercial and non-commercial ways to go about funding a much more complex site and supporting it over the long run.
The grant also encouraged Katz to formulate an agenda to discuss the development of the site and to call a meeting of interested people. About a dozen people, mostly archivists, met at his house on February 4, 2006. Richard Wandell, founder and director of the National Museum and Archive of Lesbian and Gay History, in New York City, ended a long and useful discussion by suggesting that Katz needed to draft a complete vision statement for the website.
Katz wrote a vision statement and submitted it to the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies, then directed by Paisely Currah. The CLAGS board voted to support the project for two years if funding for it could be secured. Before the CLAGS board voted, Katz met with Urvashi Vaid, director of the Arcus Foundation, discussed the website proposal, and received an encouraging response. Katz drafted a proposal to Arcus and Sara Ganter, then the development director of CLAGS redrafted it and submitted it to Arcus. At the end of 2006, that foundation approved a grant of $50,000 a year for two years (2007-2008) to develop the site.
CLAGS hired a first Project CoordinatorIn for the site, James Arnette, and in June 2007 an OutHistory advisors meeting was attended by about a twenty women and men. Other advisors agreed to join an email advisory committee. After investigating various website development companies CLAGS hired Cidamon.com to do that work, and the present prototype is the result. After Arnett, Lynley Wheaton was hired as Project Coordinator and in June 2008 Lauren Gutterman replaced Wheaton.
