The Lavender Library Archives and Cultural Exchange (LLACE) exists to preserve, protect, and promote GLBTI culture, history, and experience in the Sacramento area. We aim to recognize all the voices within our diverse community by collecting print and media materials, oral histories, ephemera, and archival materials from local organizations, as well as hosting community events and exhibits. We do this with the understanding that the relationships we build within the community today become the history we will preserve. We loan books, periodicals, videos and tapes of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender interest to members, collect items that preserve the LGBT experience in the Sacramento area and sponsor lectures, exhibits and cultural events for the community.
