With its record of more than three decades as an internationally recognized center for LGBT public-history initiatives, the GLBT Historical Society itself has increasingly attracted attention from scholars and other professionals in LGBT studies, sexuality studies, museum studies, library and information science, and other fields.
Doctoral dissertations that address the work of the Historical Society include Diana Wakimoto's "Queer Community Archives in California Since 1950" (2012)[REF] and Kelly Jacob Rawson's "Archiving Transgender: Affects, Logics and the Power of Queer History" (2010) [REF].
