Scope and Content of Collection
The UC San Diego Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Historical Collection documents the experiences of LGBTQIA+
community at UC San Diego, and reflects the activities and interests of students, staff, faculty, and alumni. It includes
correspondence, proposals, reports, speeches, flyers and photographs. Materials focus on campus climate, policies, and decisions;
events and outreach; and wider political, social, and cultural dynamics.
Materials were originally housed in binders and assigned a volume number. Additional documents and photographs were labeled
by topic. For more information about the project, a survey of organizations and programs, timelines, and an index of academic
materials and articles, please see Volume I: Project guide in the VOLUMES series.
Arranged in two series: 1) VOLUMES and 2) SUBJECT FILES.
The LGBT Campus Historical Collection and Project was conducted to document and preserve the diverse experiences of lesbian,
gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people at UC San Diego, with the goal of filling representation gaps in the historical
record. The project was initially developed under the name "LGBT Campus Archive and History Project." Many individuals, organizations,
and institutions participated in building the collection and curating the volumes. This collection was originally housed in
white binders and maintained at the LGBT Resource Center on campus.
For more information about the project, please see Volume I: Project guide in the VOLUMES series.
