Our Vision

Our mission is to collect, preserve, and make accessible lesbian, feminist, and queer women’s history as a means of providing a link between multi-generational lesbians by:

Being a safe space for historical research
Generating awareness through projects and events
Accessing lesbian history to inspire future possibilities.

The June L. Mazer Lesbian Archives is a vital force in collecting, preserving, and uplifting lesbian, feminist, and queer women's history. The Mazer provides academics, researchers, creatives, and the community a space to access and explore the past while paving the way for future generations to understand and create their own legacy.

The Archive includes personal papers, organizational papers, photographs, periodicals, subject files, books, audiovisual materials, and ephemera spanning decades.

Sisterhood Digital Exhibit

Jan 26, 2026

For 27 years, Sisterhood Bookstore was a place where women could see themselves in literature, share their experiences, and find community.

Through its books, readings, and community events, it helped connect lesbians and feminists to each other and to wider movements for liberation. This exhibit draws from the Simone Wallace Sisterhood Bookstore Collection to explore how Sisterhood Bookstore helped shape movements in Los Angeles and beyond and why its legacy still matters today.
