③ LESBIAN HERSTORY ARCHIVES @ BROOKLYN, NY

The Lesbian Herstory Archives exists to gather, preserve and provide access to records of Lesbian lives and activities. Doing this also serves to uncover and document our herstory previously denied to us by patriarchal historians in the interests of the culture that they served. The existence of the Archives will thus enable current and future generations to analyze and reevaluate the Lesbian experience.

④ GLBT HISTORY MUSEUM @ SAN FRANSCISCO, CA

⑤ WORLD AIDS MUSEUM @ FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA

The World AIDS Museum + Educational Center is open to the public to visit, explore and enjoy. We offer guided docent tours on request. In our main gallery is the CHRONOLOGY OF AIDS, which is the history of HIV and AIDS. We have a small art gallery, multimedia, and artifacts that offer though-provoking and heartwarming art experiences.

WHY SOUTH FLORIDA?

Our region is the epicenter of the HIV/AIDS crisis in the state of Florida—a state that was among the original epicenters of the HIV pandemic in the US along with the states of New York and California. Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties have consistently had the highest rates of new high HIV diagnoses in the US since 2015.
