Welcome!
GLAPN welcomes you to this community-based historical resource, the result of many years of volunteer time and effort. These contents are dedicated to the cultural advancement and representation of all LGBTQ-identified minorities within Oregon and the Pacific Northwest.
We do not speak for any particular group, cause or political agenda, but we do introduce an opportunity for diverse voices within our community to share their stories within this common forum. Here, you will find sections devoted to various facets of our organization, mission and available resources.
In what ways does GLAPN share its work with the broader public interest?
- gather documents, interviews and memorabilia for our archive collections
- facilitate opportunities to learn about local histor
- help people and organizations to archive their own histories
- direct authors and researchers to relevant sources of information
- sponsor community events to share this information
- network with community resources, like the Portland Q-Center, for visibility
Our collections are stored at the Oregon Historical Society, www.ohs.org, which is open to the public. Outreach is an important part of our mission and participation is greatly appreciated. Finally, we welcome your feedback that it may help improve our work, keep us inspired, and keep us informed of important developments.
Have fun exploring!
