Selected archival objects & Artworks
The GLBT Historical Society’s archival collections contain a diverse range of two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects, including paper materials, metal objects such as pins and plaques, sculptures, framed works of art, historic business signs, theatrical props, and textiles. These objects provide visual and material evidence of the San Francisco queer community’s engagement with the social, cultural, political and physical dynamics of the city, from the late 19th century to the present day.
This selection of objects is drawn from the society’s Art and Artifacts Collection, as well as numerous other archival collections. Click on each image for more information about each object.
