Welcome to the Collective! 

Oregon Queer History Collective is a grassroots historical society documenting, sharing, and preserving local LGBTQIA2S+ history and culture. 

Founded in 1994 as Gay and Lesbian Archives of the Pacific Northwest (GLAPN), we proudly support community activities, promote scholarship on queer history, steward extensive collections, advance inclusive historical recordation, and much much more!
