Lesbian Herstory Archives

Join LHA and black lesbian community to celebrate the publication of the Mouths of Rain Anthology.

The Lesbian Herstory Archives has been awarded a $90,000 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation

On October 15th, 2020, the Lesbian Herstory Archives co-sponsored an event to celebrate the 45th anniversary of our founding and the launch of a special issue of Sinister Wisdom Journal: A Multicultural Lesbian Literary & Art Journal, celebrating LHA’s forty-five years. The event drew 344 attendees (and 600 RSVPs) to hear a few of the issue’s contributors read from their work. Sinister Wisdom, NYU Division of Libraries, and CLAGS: The Center for LGBTQ Studies also co-sponsored. Watch video from the event and read more about it in this blog post.

One of the Archives' co-founders, Joan Nestle, shares her thoughts as we launch this new way to share news, stories, and announcements from LHA.
