Jonathan Ned Katz
Katz has given OutHistory permission to publish two original, never-before-published essays. The first is already on the site: Americans in Württemberg Scandal, 1888/Part 1. The second is: "Were the Nineties Gay?" Written for American Heritage Magazine, revised at the editor's request, then rejected when the editor got cold feet about publishing an article on gay history.
OutHistory will also republish all of the out-of-print, out-of-copyright material in Katz's books Gay American History (1976) and Gay/Lesbian Almanac (1983). This includes all out-of-copyright material on:
- African Americans
- the American colonial era
- cross-dressing women and a few men
- marriage and homosexuality
- military service and homosexuality
Republications of Katz's essays will include:
"Katz on History" [18 articles from a column in The Advocate]
"Melvillve's Secret Sex Text" [on the novel Redburn], published in the Village Voice Literary Supplment.
Tim McCaskell
McCaskell is writing an entry on AIDS activism in Canada.
Mimi McGurl
McGurl is continuing to add to her entry on the WOW Theater from original sources.

Also in work are collaborative entries on Abraham Lincoln; ZAP! Art and the Gay and Lesbian Revolution; Walt Whitman, Sexuality, and Intimacy.
