The LGBT Archives Project of Louisiana is a statewide collective dedicated to the protection and preservation of materials that document the culture and history of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender community in Louisiana. Founded in 2012, the organization collaborates with archival repositories, libraries, and museums across the state to identify and place collections, provide resources for researchers, and offer public programming on the importance of historical preservation.
With a mission to educate the community about the significance of archiving LGBT historical materials, the LGBT Archives Project of Louisiana aims to ensure that these materials are accessible for future generations to study and research. The organization was born out of the need to preserve local gay history and continues to work towards getting this history out of the closet and into the public eye.
