Membership in SNMA not only supports its programs but affords the opportunity to check out materials from its library of more than 28,000 books and 3,000 DVDs on LGBTQ subjects. As an additional incentive, new and renewing Stonewall members will receive discounts from area businesses and cultural attractions.  Stonewall currently has 350 members and hopes to increase that number to 600 members by June 30.

A cornerstone of the campaign is the publication of its new journal,  Archeion: Journal of Queer Archives. The journal offers in-depth articles reflecting on topics arising from recent SNMA exhibitions, drawn from its archive of over 6 million pages.  The journal also creates a new platform for the voices of writers, archivists, curators, artists, performers, and poets.

Published quarterly, Archeion is intended to ignite dialogue, conversation, and community around the complexities of queer life and identity. The first issue focuses on two recent SNMA exhibitions, BLK: The National Lesbian and Gay News Magazine and Elected Sisters: Pioneering Bi, Lesbian and Trans Political Leaders, and features writing from contributors Che Gossett, Joe Tolbert, Jr., Dr. Rachel Corbman, and Jamie Grace Alexander. Archeion will be mailed to all Stonewall members.

SNMA memberships start at $35 for an individual and $50 for a household. Memberships to SNMA’s Society of donors begins at $250.
