John J. Wilcox, Jr. Archives

The Center announced in June that it will put our building up for sale and seek a new home. Beginning the week of September 29, 2025, the Archives will be closed to all researchers and visitors so that we may prepare our collections for this eventual move. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Archives in the future. Please email archives@waygay.org with any questions or to discuss potential donations.

The John J. Wilcox, Jr. Archives is Philadelphia's most extensive collection of personal papers, organizational records, periodicals, audiovisual material and ephemera documenting the rich history of our LGBTQ community. For more information about the Archives or to schedule a visit, please email archives@waygay.org.
