Lavender Menace Queer Books Archive

Our mission is to collect and conserve LGBTQ+ books, and preserve queer history. We have thousands of queer books in our archive, and we host a variety of events and book groups. We not only collect queer history, we are queer history! We go all the way back to 1976, when our co-founders Bob and Sigrid first started selling LGBTQ+ books.
