The Bary Porter Collection was a gift of Bary Porter on behalf of the Kansas City Heartland Chapter of The NAMES Project Foundation in March 2012. Contained in the collection are documents, publications, programs and articles pertaining to the business workings and events and displays of the Kansas City Chapter, as well as HIV/AIDS awareness issues. Newsletters of the Kansas City Chapter of The NAMES Project Foundation are present, along with meeting minutes, and general Chapter information provide insight into the workings of the short-lived Chapter, and various programs and advertisements for events shed light on the Kansas City Pride scene from the late 1990s through the early 2000s.
