San Diego Gay and Lesbian News

As is becoming more the norm, activity at the Archives just keeps picking up.

As 2015 draws to a close, we here at Lambda Archives extend our best wishes for wonderful holidays and good hopes for a fantastic 2016.

With the help of volunteers from the community at large there has been lots more happening at Lambda Archives and much more planned!

The evening will include a brief tour of the Lambda Archives space, followed by a short presentation featuring San Diego historical tidbits, information about the work of the Archives, and how people can get involved in this work. After the tour, participants are invited to a reception with light food and beverages in the courtyard outside of the Archives.

The evening will include a brief history of some of the local LGBT sports organizations, a panel discussion featuring past and current league leaders, Q&A from the audience, followed by a reception with light refreshments.

After a months’ long search, Ken Selnick has joined the staff of Lambda Archives of San Diego as their new digitization archivist.

Three local LGBT-affiliated organizations — San Diego Human Dignity Foundation (SDHDF), San Diego Lambda Archives and Diversionary Theatre — are seeking the public’s feedback on their plan to create San Diego’s first LGBT Cultural and Performing Arts Center (CPAC).

“Telling Our Stories - LGBTQ Oral History” will feature stories of San Diego’s LGBTQ history from longtime activists through video, art and storytelling.

San Diego Human Dignity Foundation (SDHDF) recently announced it purchased the University Heights-based Diversionary Theatre building, which is located at 4545 Park Boulevard and also houses Lambda Archives, for $1.2 million.

The Bernie Michels House is the place where San Diego's GLBT history began. Lambda Archives and SOHO hope to raise enough money to show the government that it should be recognized as a historic site, thus preserving it for future generations.
