The Oregon Queer History Collective (OQHC), formerly known as the Gay and Lesbian Archives of the Pacific Northwest (GLAPN), is an Oregon-based nonprofit dedicated to uncovering the history of sexual minorities in the Pacific Northwest. Founded in 1994, OQHC works to collect, document, preserve and share historical data, artifacts and materials as they become available.

As described by Portland State University, which collaborates with the group: "GLAPN members are involved in many activities that promote a greater awareness and understanding of our long history – including processing collections and doing independent research."[1] OQHC's archives are located at the Oregon Historical Society.

OQHC's research is featured in the media through, for example, regular columns that feature LGBTQ pioneers, scandals and issues, among other things.[2] Its work is also part of some university collections.[3][4] Its oral histories are available online,[5][6] and its timelines and stories are often cited by media.[7][8][9] OQHC also puts on history shows that frequently feature queer leaders.[10]

History

[edit]

GLAPN was founded in October 1994 in Portland, Oregon, after a group of local historians were inspired by a lecture that Allan Bérubé gave at Portland State University "[emphasizing] the importance of organizing efforts to preserve gay and lesbian history".[11] Founding members included Tom Cook, Bonnie Tinker, Jeanine Wittcke, and Pat Young.[11] The organization has been affiliated with the Oregon Historical Society since its founding.[11]

GLAPN changed its name to Oregon Queer History Collective in 2024.[11]
