Lambda Archives is a community (em)powered archive. We preserve and make available the tangible record of the community including the personal documentation of individuals who have lived, worked and been active members of our communities, and the organizational records of business, community and service groups that have served our needs and interests.
We have partnered with local documentary filmmakers to record the events leading up to a controversial drag queen story hour; we have hosted a series of zine-making workshops at San Diego Pride, the San Diego LGBT Center, Cal State University San Marcos, Our Safe Place North County and SheFest; we are beginning an oral history project to record the histories of members of the LGBTQ+ Latinx Coalition, Black LGBTQ+ Coalition and Queer APIMEDA Coalition; we have a Walking Tour of Hillcrest that has become a popular part of our public programming. All of these robust public humanities projects/programs have elevated our connection with multiple community partners.
