In an unassuming room inside the eCenter at 1308 Race St. in Over-the-Rhine is a truly unique treasure trove of historical LGBTQ+ ephemera. Inside of file cabinets and laid delicately on shelves are historical books, zines, personal letters, clothing and other items from the LGBTQ+ community in Ohio. The Ohio Lesbian Archives is one of just a handful of such organizations across the country. Though the Ohio Lesbian Archives mostly showcases what life has been like for Ohio lesbians in the past century, it does also contain objects and memories from other members of the LGBTQ+ community as well. If you have a free hour or two, perusing their extensive collection of lesbian and LGBTQ+ zines from the past 50 years (their archive is open to visitors) is an especially eye-opening and inspiring activity for lesbians and allies alike. ohiolesbianarchives.org.
