Gay and Lesbian Archives of the Pacific Northwest

The Gay and Lesbian Archives of the Pacific Northwest (GLAPN) was established in Portland, Oregon, by Tom Cook in the early 1990s. Since then, the organization has collected archival materials and oral histories from organizations and individuals active in lesbian and gay issues in the Portland area and throughout the Pacific Northwest. Portland State University students gathered many of these oral histories, spanning from the late 1990s to the present.
