​ABOUT OUR PRESENTATIONS & WORKSHOPS

​Lambda Archives of San Diego provides subject matter expertise on LGBTQ+ history in the San Diego-Tijuana binational region. Our presentations and workshops are presented by Lambda Archives’ staff and historians, utilize powerful primary sources from our own collections, and are built for a wide array of audiences, ranging from K-12 schools to universities to community-based organizations to corporations and beyond. 

WHAT WE OFFER

​Our presentations draw on Lambda Archives' unique collections and expertise as the only dedicated LGBTQ+ community-based archives serving the San Diego-Tijuana area.

We offer two (2) types of presentations:
​

1. General LGBTQ+ History Presentations
   • These presentations provide an overview of local LGBTQ+ history, highlighting significant people, places, events, and movements that have shaped our community. Drawing from our archival collections, we share stories that illuminate the resilience, activism, and contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals in our binational region.
2. Tailored Topical or Thematic Presentations

• These custom presentations focus on specific issues or topics, and are designed to meet specific educational goals or audience interests. Past topics have included:

1. ​​Queer People in S.T.E.M.
2. The History of San Diego Pride
3. Psychiatry - history of the ways it has pathologized homosexuality
4. Women of the HIV/AIDS Epidemic
5. Black Queer & Trans History of San Diego

​Each presentation is developed in consultation with the requesting organization to ensure relevance and impact for their specific audience and learning objectives.

FEE SCHEDULE

Important Notes:

• Sliding Scale: Rates are built on a sliding scale based on organization size and budget; organizations that are able to pay the rate at the higher end of the scale allow Lambda Archives to offer pro bono presentations and workshops.
• Tailored and Customizable Rates: All services are customizable, with tiered rates based on organization size and capacity. Rates may be negotiable; when possible, Lambda Archives is happy to work with organizations to negotiate an appropriate fee structure for both parties.
• Preparation of Materials: These fees reflect both creating and providing the training. Services including only the creation of training materials and presentations (i.e. without providing the training) may be available upon request. 
• Attendee Limits: 
  • In-Person Presentations: In the interest of impact and interactivity, each in-person presentation is capped at 50 attendees. Additional fees may apply for a higher number of attendees.
  • Virtual & Hybrid Presentations: There is no attendance limit for virtual presentations, or for virtual attendees of hybrid presentations. Where appropriate, we will work with clients to determine appropriate capacity for virtual presentations.
