ONE Archives at the USC Libraries

ONE Archives at the USC Libraries holds one of the largest collections of LGBTQ material in the world: periodicals, letters, photographs, protest ephemera and art. It descends from ONE, Inc., founded in Los Angeles in 1952, whose ONE Magazine won One, Inc. v. Olesen at the US Supreme Court in 1958, the first ruling that gay publications were not obscene by default. The archive is housed at 909 West Adams Boulevard, near the USC campus in University Park. The reading room is open to researchers and the public, usually by appointment. Check the visit page for current hours and exhibitions.
