The Leather Archives & Museum is pleased to announce the launch of our new Research Services Program! An extension of the services already provided by our dedicated staff and volunteers, our goal is to make our vast collection of BDSM materials more accessible to the public.

Our new program is staffed by a diverse group of professionals and volunteers, bound together by their desire to serve your research needs. You can easily reach us via our web site, telephone, e-mail, and even online chat. Calls and e-mails are accepted during our operating hours of Thursday-Friday 11AM-7PM, and Saturday-Sunday 11AM-5PM.

Live, online chat is available on Sundays from 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM CT during our testing of this service. Online chat hours will be expanded in the future. We are using cutting-edge Meebo technology that allows users to chat live with our researchers directly from our web site. No software or messenger accounts are required, and since you can reach us from home, even clothing is optional!

The new Research Services Program adds a new, interactive dimension to our library and archival collections. Our library currently consists of over 5,000 books and provides access to over 12,000 periodicals of interest to the leather community. In addition, our facility hosts over 1,400 sq. ft. of archival space. We truly have something for everyone and anyone interested in the leather lifestyle and fetish community. Whether you are just learning the ropes or an old hand at the lash, the Leather Archives & Museum is ready and willing to serve!
