Greetings!
We are welcoming two new staff members at ONE this month, and saying farewell to two former staff. We are proud to introduce Alex Gersh as our new Office Specialist and Ellen Krout-Hasegawa as our new Gallery Staff. Alex and Ellen are both very well qualified and ready to provide you with excellent service. Please join us in welcoming them to ONE!
Our former Office Specialist, Johanna Michael, and our former Gallery Docent, Lauren O'Connell, are both continuing their academic pursuits. Lauren will be completing her degree program to become a therapist and Johanna will begin her first year of law school next month. We wish them the best in their future endeavours.
Please read on to find out about the exciting upcoming events and more news at ONE.

Let's
Get Technical
by Carol Grosvenor, Treasurer
|
 The
David Bohnett Foundation has provided ONE Archives with funds to improve access
to ONE's collections through the use of technology. Today, the
Collections Search function on www.ONEarchives.org
is faster, contains more information and even has some images in the Art,
Posters and Museum Objects area. ONE's past newsletters are
available online and the organizations that financially support ONE Archives are
prominently displayed on the home page. There are more historical entries
on the www.LGBThistory.org Timeline and this site is faster, too. You can find the
details about events and exhibits at ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives
and ONE Archives Gallery & Museum through Facebook and MySpace technology. When
researchers visit the main archives location on Adams Blvd. in Los Angeles, they can use two new computer
systems to access detail collection information. Thank you to The David
Bohnett Foundation for helping to make all these technical changes at ONE
National Gay & Lesbian Archives.

Bob Mitchell: Mourning a Los Angeles Icon
|
Bob Mitchell, a lifetime Angelino passed away this
month. Mr. Mitchell was involved with
ONE from the organization's earliest years, working with Dorr Legg, Don Slater
and Jim Kepner early in the 1950s. He
remained active in ONE and eventually went on to serve on the board. Mr. Mitchell managed the Robert Mitchell Boys
Choir for sixty years, which performed in over 100 films, including "Going My
Way," "White Christmas," and "Angels with Dirty Faces." Mitchell will be missed dearly, but his
legacy will live on.
