The GLBT Historical Society is a San Francisco-based museum and archival institution dedicated to collecting, preserving, and making accessible materials and knowledge about LGBTQ history, culture, and arts. It operates across two sites: the GLBT Historical Society Museum in the Castro district, active since 2011, and the Dr. John P. De Cecco Archives and Research Center in the Mid-Market area that welcomes researchers. The organization serves both the general public and researchers by presenting exhibitions and providing access to its archives to support understanding of diversity within LGBTQ history. Positioned within the museums and historical sites sector, it functions as both a public-facing museum and an archival resource for scholarly study. The group is based in San Francisco, California, and there was a leadership change in 2021 when the executive director left.
