The Phil Johnson Historic Archives and Research Library is privileged to preserve an extensive collection of historical LGBT related documents and memorabilia dating back to the 1940s. The majority of the archive collection has been cataloged and remains in storage due to lack of space. However, the Center frequently displays selections when relevant to current events. These displays are available for loan to area universities, businesses and organizations. Contact the librarian if you wish to have a display at your location or have material significant to LGBT history that you wish to donate to the archives.
