History
The GLBT Historical Society is a public history center and archives that collects, preserves and interprets the history of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people and the communities that support them. Founded in 1985, the society is recognized internationally as a leader in the field of queer public history and maintains one of the world's largest archival collections of LGBTQ historical materials. Our operations are centered at two sites: the GLBT Historical Society Museum, located in the heart of San Francisco's Castro neighborhood; and the Dr. John P. De Cecco Archives and Research Center, open to researchers in the Mid-Market district. This business listing is for the archives and offices located at 989 Market Street. The archives are open to the public by appointment. Please give us a call to make an appointment. If you are looking for our museum, it is located at 4187 18th St., San Francisco, CA 94114.
