A community-driven archival initiative that preserves and makes accessible the histories of LGBTQ people across the American South. Operating in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and the Florida Panhandle, IHP serves as a bridge between Southern LGBTQ communities and archival institutions, helping individuals donate personal materials—including photographs, letters, and organizational records—for long-term preservation. Although IHP has conducted oral history interviews, they are not yet available online. A dedicated oral history page is forthcoming. In the meantime, users can explore IHP’s growing Collections Database, Digital Collections, and Born-Digital items, which provide access to a wide range of LGBTQ historical materials from the region.
