Historical Background
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.
