Ohio Lesbian Archives

The Ohio Lesbian Archives is a volunteer-run collection preserving the history of lesbian and LGBTQ+ life in Greater Cincinnati and across Ohio. Founded in 1989, it holds books, periodicals, photographs, personal papers, and ephemera documenting the region's queer past. It is located at the eCenter on Race Street in Over-the-Rhine, across from Washington Park, and drew renewed national attention in 2025 for its work safeguarding at-risk community history.
