In a New York apartment, a group of women came together to start an initiative that would eventually become the world’s largest lesbian archive. The Archivettes tells the story of this extraordinary collection and the women who built it. The documentary sheds light not only on the documents themselves but also on the passion and determination of the women who gathered, preserved, and passed them on to future generations. This film is a powerful account of the struggle and solidarity behind making a silenced history visible.
