Spanning from the late 20th century to the present day, the Fasana/Graham Archive is a monumental repository of LGBTQIA+ political, cultural, and social history. With over 2,700 linear feet of materials—twice the height of the Empire State Building—the collection comprises more than 6 million pages of records.
Professionally curated and housed in a climate-controlled environment that meets rigorous conservation and archival standards, the Archive is meticulously cataloged using the PastPerfect database, offering detailed descriptions and searchable entries throughout.
The Archive includes:
Originally centered on Florida and the Southeastern United States, the collection now reflects LGBTQIA+ experiences from across the country—with select international holdings that broaden its global relevance.
We welcome the public to tour the Archive and explore its significance. However, access to materials is reserved for scholars, historians, researchers, writers, and artists by appointment only.
Please contact us at Inquiry@Stonewall-Museum.org.
Research appointments must be requested at least one week in advance.
To browse the full scope of our holdings, explore our comprehensive Finding Aid, which provides detailed descriptions and searchable entries across all categories.
The strength of the Fasana/Graham Archive is rooted in community generosity. The vast majority of our holdings have been donated by individuals who believe in preserving LGBTQIA+ history—and we welcome your contributions.
We accept donations of:
New donations arrive weekly, and each item is carefully reviewed against our existing holdings. If a contribution fills a gap or improves the condition of a current item, it is added to the collection. Duplicates are shared with other LGBTQIA+ archives whenever possible, extending the reach of your generosity.
We recognize historic gaps in our holdings—especially materials created by or for BIPOC communities. We are actively working to address these shortcomings and seek donations that reflect the full diversity of LGBTQIA+ experiences. Your support is essential to this effort.
