The Magnus Hirschfeld Society is happy to announce that the Hirschfeld Society's online exhibit on the former Hirschfeld Institute for Sexual Science in Berlin (1919-1933) is now up and running - in German, English, and Spanish.

This online exhibit is part of the "Virtual Memorial" project, sponsored by the Pink Triangle Coalition, and includes 86 pages, grouped around five topics: 

• The Buildings
• The Persons (about 80, with 36 biographies)
• Theory and Practice with sub-chapters on Homosexuality and Forensics
• Sex Reform
• Destruction and Exile
  

This virtual exhibit includes a total of 294 pictures and will be online till June 2005.

The URL for a direct access to the exhibit is: www.magnus-hirschfeld.de/institut

Also available is a CD-ROM, including additional materials and higher resolution (see website for details.)

The original traveling exhibit is still available. Requests for the German and Spanish versions should be addressed to the Hirschfeld Society. The English version is on permanent loan at the Jean-Nickolaus Tretter Collection, Elmer L. Andersen Library, University of Minnesota, and will travel from there upon request.
