The San Francisco Public Library is digitizing all issues of the San Francisco Bay Times from May 1978 to June 2012, making them publicly accessible by the end of 2025. Recent issues can already be found on the Bay Times website and ISSUU. The digitization project is supported by the Hormel LGBTQIA Center. Federal funding cuts threaten similar initiatives, yet the project remains a priority for the Bay Times publishers, who aim to preserve their history and provide free access to archives, benefiting diverse audiences interested in LGBTQ+ topics.
The San Francisco Public Library will make every issue of the San Francisco Bay Times published from May 1978 to June 2012 available to the public by the end of 2025, ensuring free access to a significant historical archive.
All issues of the Bay Times since its inception in 1978 will become available, including recent ones hosted on the SF Bay Times and ISSUU websites, enhancing public access to LGBTQ+ history.
