When the AIDS epidemic exploded in the 80s, a San Diego man started documenting the history of the LGBTQIA community in our area.
"I think Lambda Archives is one of the best-kept secrets in San Diego. It really is an embarrassment of riches," Nicole Verdes, Lambda Archives Board President, said.
"To really safeguard the history of the queer community in San Diego and Northern Baja and Imperial County region," Verdes said."He was a nurse by trade and known to be a very gentle soul," she said. But when the aids crisis began to worsen, he was known as an activist and was known as a very fierce activist and advocate for gay rights and LGBTQ+ rights."
"He started collecting papers, photographs, things like that of people that were dying because he knew that would be important to save, and that's actually how lambda got started," Verde said.
