Welcome to PrideMuseum.Plus
Presently we are collecting lbgtq items mainly from the 1900s,
if you have items we encourage you to donate or loan them to this archive.
If you would like to help, contact us through our offline chat below or by clicking "contact" above.

Our plan is to scan and post as much as we can.
We will better categorize this page in the future,
presently we are attempting to show the breadth of the collection thus far.

The ultimate goal is to open a museum,
an evening space with multiple ever-rotating displays using flood led displays and rigid board prints,
and an lgbtq adapted board game space.
