MISSION

Stonewall National Museum, Archives, & Library is a safe, welcoming place that inspires and promotes understanding through collecting, preserving, and sharing the proud culture of LGBTQIA+ people of all stories, and their significant role in American society.

VISION

Stonewall is inspirational, educational, relevant, and accessible for people today and future generations; we are recognized nationally as a leading, influential authority in our field and community. We are a leader in the collection, preservation, and accessibility of American LGBTQIA+ culture and history.

VALUES

Freedom/creativity/collaboration
Recognizing that every person has the intrinsic ability to create, we seek to build community among LGBTQIA+ people and organizations and their allies, working together in a cooperative and supportive environment. 

Equity
Understanding how aspects of one’s social and political identities (e.g., gender, race, class, sexuality, disability, etc.) might combine to create unique modes of discrimination, we work to create policies and practices that foster an embracing and inclusive environment, welcoming to everyone, treating them with respect, care and empathy.  While preserving the history of past generations, we seek to engage future generations.

Professionalism
We collect, preserve, exhibit and teach within the highest of academic standards.  We perform our work ethically, honesty and with integrity.  We acknowledge our temporal relationship to SNMAL’s assets and obligation to manage and preserve the organization for future generations.

Service
Rooted in scholarship, our programs are offered in service to the general public, visible and accessible to the widest group possible.
