#222 - Tori & Jeff of the Leather History Preservation Foundation
The Leather History Preservation Foundation was created to provide an accountable, transparent, fiscal entity for the ongoing production of events concentrating on recording and preserving the culture and traditions of the Leather adult alternative sexual sub-culture.
OUR MISSION
To preserve the practice and tradition of passing on the collective experiences and wisdom of the Leather community through the sharing of oral histories.
To encourage the education and inclusion of the next generations of Leatherfolk to continue the practice and tradition of this sharing of oral history.
>Preserve our traditions.
>Share our experiences.
>Encourage inclusion.
>Educate ourselves.
>Empower one another.
>Promote acceptance.
To educate and empower those who identify as belonging to the Leather community, those who are new or curious about the Leather community, and to encourage tolerance and acceptance across a broad range of alternative adult lifestyle choices
OUR VISION
Educating and empowering our Leather brothers and sisters, and others across a broad spectrum of adult alternative lifestyle choices, by understanding how our past has shaped our present, and how our present can shape the future.
HOW WE WILL GET THERE
By presenting an annual conference that will bring experienced Leathermen and Leatherwomen together to share their experiences – their trials, triumphs, and tragedies, their feelings and opinions, to tell their personal stories - with those who are new to or curious about, the Leather lifestyle we have chosen to live, with Leatherfolk and other practitioners of alternative lifestyles that wish to learn more about living a Leather lifestyle.
>By recording these oral histories for posterity.
By making items of significant personal historical value, books, photographs, and recordings available for conference participants to experience with all their senses, to make these personal histories more immediate and real.
Leather History Preservation Weekend is the ongoing mission of the Leather History Preservation Foundation to fulfill our vision of preserving and sharing our Leather History, our culture and our traditions.
