  I started the Tangent Group website

  Tangents Online

  in 1998 as a part of my dissertation fieldwork project through the University of Southern California (anthropology and gender studies). Originally conceived as a place were I could store vital historic documents

  the site took on significance as the information percolated out into academe and the LGBT media. \n\nThe first generation of this site was coded in raw HTML. I quickly discovered Adobe GoLive

  and for a few years I continued to grow Tangents Online as side work. \n\nIn 2010

  a friend persuaded me to recast the site into a Wiki format

  and that is the site currently broadcast. However

  over the past two years I have been transferring and adding new content to a new WordPress site that at last can pull everything together into one neat package.\n\nMy commitment to Tangents Online now approaches twenty years

  and at last I see the organization begin to grow. Stay tuned for regular updates on this important and historic organization
