The Mazer Collections
The Mazer is committed to gathering and preserving materials by and about lesbians and feminists of all classes, ethnicities, races and experiences. Our collections include personal letters and scrapbooks, artwork, manuscripts, books, records, newspapers, magazines, photographs, videotapes, flyers, papers of lesbian organizations, private papers, and even clothing, such as softball uniforms from the 1940s and 50s. Hundreds of lesbians and feminists have been inspired to donate artifacts of their personal and collective histories.
The Mazer encourages all lesbians to deposit the everyday mementos of your lives so that others can discover them in the future. The privacy of any donor is protected to whatever extent desired.
Contact the Mazer to learn more about our collections or if you are interested in donating your own collection. Please note, that before donating any items to the Mazer, we ask that you first contact us by email or by phone at (310) 659-2478 to ensure the safety of your items.
