HIC founder Don Slater began collecting materials pertaining to the history of homosexual rights in the United States when he helped to launch ONE magazine in the fall of 1952, making his collection the oldest formally established homophile archives in the United States.
Slater continued to collect and organize these items through in his role as Editor of ONE and Tangents magazines until his death on February 14, 1997, when the collection’s care fell to Jim Schneider, Joseph Hansen, Billy Glover, and the other Directors of the HIC.

As we processes our extensive collection, select pieces will be posted here for the public to view and read online. In time, we hope to digitally process the entire collection of HIC materials. Until then, your help by making a donation to the HIC will help us to protect and disseminate this information. Your generous contribution will help us to get more of our historic materials online.
