June L. Mazer Lesbian Archives

One of the oldest and most extensive archives in the U.S. dedicated to preserving lesbian and feminist histories. Based in Los Angeles, it houses a wide range of materials—including photographs, personal papers, audiovisual recordings, and ephemera—documenting the lives and activism of lesbians and queer women, primarily in Southern California. The Mazer Archives also features a growing body of oral histories. Their website includes 18 video recordings representing 11 personal interviews, all with transcripts, as well as 73 additional interviews and transcripts from the B-E Collection, conducted by Diane Barrett and Margaret Elfering. Together, these interviews offer an invaluable window into lesbian life across generations.
