Hello! I am interested in creating an archive that houses black lesbian materials and I was wondering how do I get started. In my home I have my personal collection of art, zines, and books and I want to have visitors similar to the lesbian herstory archive. I make a zine every month for Black lesbians called living lesbian archive and I want space host our monthly meetups + a reading room to peruse our materials. While I have my collection at home I am not a professional and I do not have a mlis (applying to grad school though)

Here are my questions

  1. How to raise money
  2. How to lease a space
  3. How does copyright work (sorry that is vague)
  4. Should I register was a 501c3? Maybe even LLC?
  5. How to build community trust
