Lesbian History Project
(audio-tapes, tape indexes, photos)
The objective of this project
conducted by
Diane F. Germain is to document and preserve for
posterity the colorful and creative everyday achievements of San
Diego's lesbian community in the early 70s. This was the era in
which many women's spaces and support groups were established:
lesbian collectives, Las Hermanas (coffee-house and much more),
the San Diego Lesbian Organization, Slightly Older Lesbians, and
Lesbians of Color, just to name a few. Women interviewed in the
first phase of this project include
Muriel Fisher, Pamela L.
Wilson, Chris Tyson, Cheryl Robinson, Linda Barufaldi, Lori
Barnes, Carlota Hernandez, Gwen Snyder, Judy Reif and Sheila
Clark. If you are interested in
participating in this Project, please leave a message for Diane Germain at (619) 260-1522.
Queer
Artists Project
Project Coordinator Susan C.
Richards has adopted the approach taken by the curators of "In
a Different Light: Visual Culture, Sexual Identity, Queer Practice,"
a landmark exhibition held in 1995 in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The exhibit and the Project ask the question, "How are queer
artists looking at the world; what do queer artists do?" The
Project is not looking for particular content, style,
"sensibility" or politics. Rather we are documenting the rich and
various work of San Diego artists to combat invisibility, to
preserve and transmit our history and heritage, to say "we were
here and we are here."
Lambda Archives
is developing slide files of individual artists who volunteer to
participate, along with any written or other materials pertaining
to their creative lives. Once an artist has established a file
with the Project, the artist can continue to add to it over time,
documenting the evolution of that individual's work. The materials
will be available for research and educational presentations.
If you are interested in
participating in this Project, leave a message for Susan Richards
at the Archives at (619) 260-1522. Also visit

Bisexual
Archives Collection
The
Bisexual Archives Collection is
located at the Lambda Archives of San Diego. The purpose of this collection,
one of very few archives devoted to Bisexual material, is to
preserve the history of matters related to Bisexuality in San
Diego for future research. This archival
collection was established and donated by Regina Reinhardt
and Fritz Klein.
Pride Collection
(a stand-alone collection housed separately)
Founded in 1980, the Pride
Collection is comprised of materials that have been produced for
the promotion of annual
Lesbian/Gay Pride events (parades,
festivals, exhibits, picnics, dances, etc.). These materials
include posters, buttons, pins, T-shirts, programs, souvenir
books, banners, photos, videos, and periodicals. The collection is
international in scope and one of the largest such collections in
existence. The majority of the materials are from the private
collection of
Doug Moore, a San Diego Gay/Lesbian Pride organizer
of many years.
