The Kinsey Institute Archives

Over the years, I have appraised numerous collections for charitable donation to The Kinsey Institute. And, when I am conducting research for my own academic pursuits, their vast library is my go-to place to discover, learn and be inspired.

They have many online galleries that may be enjoyed, including: The  Shape of Us. The online exhibition explores diversity and the human body, through a display of vintage and contemporary artworks, artifacts, and photographs by Mariette Pathy Allen, Laurent Benaïm, Lynn Bianchi, Tom Bianchi, Rick Castro, Deena des Rioux, Steve Diet Goedde, Michael Grecco, Brad Miller, Kevin O. Mooney, Dianora Niccolini, Herb Ritts, Michael Rosen, Michele Serchuk, J.D. Talasek, Sam Wang, and others. A wide variety of body types are represented, as well as body modification through clothing, tattooing, surgery, and other means.

Visit them online, and, if you have the opportunity, do visit them in person. Appointments are required! You’ll be blown-away by these archives.
