Leather History Conference  2013
“Living leather”
October 25-27, 2013

Mission Statement


To bring our Leather History to life.

To educate and stimulate Leatherwomen and Leathermen,

Kinksters, Fetishists,

LGBTQ’s and anyone else interested in or curious about this life

that we have chosen to live.

To allow our hands to touch, our minds to grasp and our imaginations

to wander

and to never, ever, allow anyone to take that away from us.

Leather History Conference


Leather History Conference supports Living Leather Enriched by Leather History and all those who are living it, have lived it or desire to live Leather.       LHC 2013 brings those that are now living Leather to tell their stories. The challenges, joys, heartaches, love, persecution and triumphs that have made them Leather.

The Carter/Johnson Leather Library will once again be in attendance; providing hands-on documentation with the written word, priceless memorabilia and authentic pictures aiding Leather History Conference 2013 in bringing Leather History and Living Leather to all who strive to learn more, be more and live more Leather.
