Chris Howard-Woods started the topic OutHistory.org Pride Month Campaign in
the forum NYCDH Announcements:
Dear DHers,
OutHistory.org, the scholarly LGBT history website created by Jonathan Ned
Katz and maintained (currently) at The New School under the direction of
co-director Dr. Claire Potter, has been offered by a Greenwich Village
writer and artist a $10,000 donation if other donors match that amount.
OutHistory is requesting Pride Month donations of all sizes from those who
love LGBTQ history.
The site’s co-directors Jonathan Ned Katz, Claire Bond Potter, and John
D’Emilio are alerting OutHistory’s supporters to their potential donor’s
offer.
The potential donor told OutHistory: “I inherited money from a lover of
more than 50 years ago with whom I always kept in touch. I think that he
would be pleased that I am offering to contribute to an organization of
importance to the LGBT Community.”
Donations help bring to the public original scholarly research like John
D’Emilio’s Oral Histories, Jonathan Ned Katz’ Stonewall Police Reports,
Marc Stein’s work on Boutillier V. INS (1967), and much, much more.
OutHistory.org is a project of the Fund for the City of New York, a
not-for-profit corporation. Donations are tax deductible.
Donations to OutHistory may be made online by clicking here. Checks made
out to Fund for the City of New York, with OutHistory.org written in the
memo line, may be sent to:
