Lambda Archives of San Diego is a community-powered archives located in San Diego, California. Its mission is to collect, preserve, and share the history of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people in San Diego, Northern Baja California, and the Imperial County region. Lambda Archives preserves varied items such as ephemera, manuscripts, event memorabilia, photographs, textiles, and much more. As of 2019, the collections include approximately 100,000 photographs; about 13,000 of those are digitized. In 1987, Jess Jessop incorporated the "Lesbian and Gay Archives of San Diego", which would eventually be renamed Lambda Archives of San Diego. The archives started with materials that Jessop and Doug Moore had collected through the years. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the primary focus of Lambda Archives is to preserve LGBT history and culture in the San Diego–Tijuana region. In the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic in the summer of 2020, Lambda Archives was able to hire its first full-time archivist, but Lambda Archives continues to be fueled by and cared for through the generosity of donors and volunteers, including its volunteer Board of Directors. Lambda Archives is located in the building owned and operated by Diversionary Theatre, the 3rd oldest LGBTQIA+ theatre in the U.S. On July 11, 2021, the San Diego Union-Tribune published a cover feature about Lambda Archives for its Sunday Edition Arts & Culture section titled "Pride and preservation: Lambda Archives safeguards San Diego's LGBTQ past."
