By the People: 25 Years of Community Archiving at Leather Archives & Museum

In 1991, Chuck Renslow created Leather Archives & Museum to preserve the history of Leathermen lost to AIDS and AIDS-related illness. Within 25 years, LA&M has evolved into an internationally-recognized nonprofit with a library, museum, and archive containing rare and one-of-a-kind materials about the Leather, kink, S/M, fetish, and alternative sexuality communities.
