Traces of the history of LGBTQ+ communities around the world can be found throughout the collections of the Hoover Institution Library & Archives. While there are no collections dedicated solely to the LGBTQ+ experience, the materials in the L&A collections are valuable for the study of various aspects of LGBTQ+ history in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Given the Hoover Institution's focus on war, revolution, and peace, the archival collections of politicians, dissident movements in the U.S. and abroad, and newspapers provide the bulk of material related to LGBTQ+ history.
