SUPPORT US
We rely on our donors to support our work of collecting, storing, digitizing and making accessible the lesbian history of the Bay Area. We have received some small grants from local organizations but the bulk of our income comes from individuals. Every monetary gift lets us know that you want lesbian history to be preserved for present and future generations.
​
Your financial contributions fund all of our expenses:
​
-
rent on storage facilities (currently three large climate-controlled storage units in the Oakland/Emeryville area)
-
archival supplies such as acid-free boxes and file folders
-
computers, external hard drives, archiving and video software and occasional tech support
