LA&M Women's Leather History Project


Women's Leather History Project

The Leather Archives & Museum (LA&M) is committed to collecting, preserving and providing access to the contributions, experiences, and histories of women in leather, BDSM, fetish, and related lifestyles. The Women’s Leather History Project (WLHP) represents the LA&M’s ongoing commitment to making the diverse voices of women in leather visible and heard. The WLHP will collect artifacts, stories, and other items that represent the experience of all women (straight, gay, bisexual, transsexual, transgender, women of color). The resulting collections will be featured in future exhibitions at the Leather Archives & Museum.

Please join the WLHP and the LA&M and ring in the New Year by becoming a part of this urgent and unprecedented project of collecting and protecting Women’s Leather History!

The WLHP is a multi-year project. Donations to the WLHP will only be used for program items related to the collection and exhibition of women’s leather history at the LA&M. Your donations will fund the hiring of a professional curator, the creation of museum exhibits at the LA&M, and the acquisition and storage of women’s leather resources including:

LA&MPapers
LA&MPersonal histories—oral, film, and written
LA&MArt and visual resources
LA&MMedia—books, magazines, films, and digital media
LA&MArtifacts—organizational and personal
