Preserving Our History, And Yours, One Conversation At A Time.


The Leather History Preservation Foundation is dedicated to preserving and promoting the Leather tradition of oral history, through the sharing of our experiences and life journeys.

We embrace the practice of “Each One, Teach One.”

Welcome to the LHPF!


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.

LHPF is a registered non-profit corporation in the State of North Carolina, Secretary of State ID# 1513067, and we are now an IRS 501 (c)(3) recognized non-profit corporation, EIN: 81-2184399.

WHAT WE DO


LHPF was created to provide an accountable, transparent, fiscal entity for the production of Leather History Conference 2016, and other events focusing on the traditions and history of our Leather culture.

Each year we produce the Leather History Preservation Weekend. This event is 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. We learn how our past has shaped our present, and how our present can shape the future.

Leather History Preservation Weekend


A weekend of shared history, camaraderie and fellowship, with multiple presenters sharing their history, cocktails, play time, vendors, networking and FUN!
