NEW FUND ESTABLISHED


Doug Elliott, a long-time supporter of ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives died on February 14, 2008.  Before Doug died, he worked with an estate planning professional to setup "The Doug Elliott Research and Scholarship Fund for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Trans-gender Studies" after his death.  The purpose of the Fund is to improve understanding and societal integration of all persons of various sexual orientations.
 
ONE Archives is pleased to announce that The Doug Elliott Research and Scholarship Fund has been established and the ONE Board is working to determine the use of these funds using Doug Elliott's guidelines.
 
One of the provisions of the Fund is that additional contributions can be made in memory of Doug.  Money that you give to ONE Archives and designate as a gift to the Doug Elliott fund will be added to the Fund and continue Doug's vision.  Please send your checks to ONE Archives, 909 W. Adams Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90007.  For further information about the Fund, please contact Carol Grosvenor, Treasurer, at CarolG@ONEarchives.org or 213-741-0094.

ARCHIVES BAZAAR COVERAGE

Cruising Protest

The Los Angeles Times ran an article "USC's Archives Bazaar resurrects L.A.'s history" in their October, 6th issue covering the recent USC Archives Bazaar, in which we are in attendance. Our own Archivist Michael Palmer was quoted and we received a wonderful shout out to the public to remember us when thinking of donating materials. Thanks Michael!!!

OUT and ABOUT TOURS

Out & About Tours has made it part of its mission to donate a portion of its ticket price to a local or national LGBT charity of its choosing each month and is thrilled to announce that our first charitable donations will support ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives. "Much of the research that was conducted to bring the tour to life, came directly off the shelves of ONE's Archives in Downtown Los Angeles. Without their help in preserving and archiving LGBT history, none of this would have been possible.We want to show our thanks to everyone who has supported ONE by offering a special discount to anyone who would like to ride with us." says Jim Anzide

Out & About Tours is excited to unveil the first and only LGBT bus tour in the Hollywood area that reveals, in an entertaining way, the culturally rich, vital and often hidden LGBT history in the city of Los Angeles and its relevance to our present-day gay experience. With an open door to adults from the LGBT community and the friends who support us, Out & About Tours will enlighten, educate and amuse everyone who dares set foot on our wild ride.
