The Society keeps history alive through its archives, exhibits, and programming. The "Passionate Struggle" archives, being part of the GLBT Historical Society, have moved from the temporary Castro location to that of the Society in the 657 Mission Street building. These have been reinstalled and re-launched in the main gallery downtown. Now 20% of the pieces have been rotated out. "The structure is basically the same," said Paul Boneberg, executive director of the GLBT Historical Society, "but it has been updated and added to."
