Biographical / Historical
ONE Institute, formerly known as ONE Archives Foundation, is the oldest active LGBTQ+ organization, founded in 1952. It is
known to be the largest collection of material related to the LGBTQ+ community globally. In 2010, ONE Archive became a part
of the University of Southern California libraries. The main goal of the ONE Archives at USC is to ensure that material from
and by the LGBTQ+ community is properly preserved and accessible to those who need them. ONE Institute also strives to maintain
a large repository with a large range of representation such as the narratives of Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC),
women, gender-nonconforming and transgender people, people of various abilities and ages among all socio-economic classes.
"Culture Series'' is a series of events hosted by the ONE Archives that include art exhibitions, literary events, music performances,
guest lectures, and presentations about topics as they pertain to the LGBTQ+ community primarily by the LGBTQ+ community.
