Owning Institution: UCLA, Library Special Collections, Charles E. Young Research Library

About this Collection

The Connexxus/Centro de Mujeres Collection contains personal photographs and administrative records from Connexxus / Centro de Mujeres, one of the first Los Angeles non-profit organizations that catered and provided services to lesbians. The organization was founded in 1984 by activists Del Martínez and Lauren Jardine, and later expanded from its original West Hollywood location to a second "Connexxus East" branch in East Los Angeles. Connexxus programs included referrals, a variety of supports groups, a business alliance, mental health services, workshops, social events, dances and a program for Latina lesbians in East Los Angeles. Connexxus also co-sponsored the first Latina Lesbian Mental Health Conference in 1986. In 1987 Connexxus took over the management of the West Coast Lesbian Collection, which was moved from Oakland and was renamed the June Mazer Lesbian Archive.
