Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

The GLBT Historical Society collects, preserves, exhibits and makes available to the public materials and knowledge to support and promote understanding of LGBTQ history, culture and arts in all their diversity.

  • Archives - The archives of the GLBT Historical Society had a tremendously productive 2023. We received several important grants, digitized a substantial amount of material, and had a surge in new archival collections that greatly enriched our holdings. We also continued implementation of a new digital asset management system, which provides robust digital infrastructure and helps us better preserve and share digitized content. We welcomed over 480 onsite researchers working on diverse projects, up from 350 in 2022. We continued to expand our online offerings, making 23 new digital archival collections available. The archives accessioned 107 new collections in 2023, including some previously donated in 2021 and 2022 that had not been formally accessioned due to onsite COVID restrictions.

    Expenses $577,639 · Revenue $80,834

  • Public Exhibitions - The GLBT Historical Society Museum in San Francisco remains a key setting for the GLBT Historical Society to share our past with LGBTQ and non-LGBTQ publics and to advocate for the preservation of queer history and culture. In 2023, we updated the museum's COVID-19 safety precautions, continuing to require masks for all guests and staff in the space but no longer requiring proof of vaccination. We presented 3 new exhibitions in the museum space and launched the return of our in-person public programs, hosting 7 in-person public programs and exhibition opening receptions, as well as 1 online workshop. We welcomed nearly 80 schools and community organizations for group tours and nearly 9,000 individual guests visiting the museum. We continue to be specifically guided by the areas of strategic focus as outlined in the society's five-year strategic plan: Women, bisexual people, transgender people, people with disabilities, Black people, Native/Indigenous people, Asian Americans, Latinx people.

    Expenses $303,218 · Revenue $101,119

  • Public Education Program - In 2023, we launched the return of our in-person public programs at our museum site, hosting four in-person public programs and one online workshop. We presented eight talks on LGBTQ history to employee resource groups, nonprofits, and governmental agencies. Our monthly electronic newsletter highlighted work to bring critical lost histories to light and had over 100,000 imprints. We also continued our sponsorship of 4 LGBTQ historical projects: an archive, a book, a script, and a historic site.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
