The Ohio Lesbian Archives is a history resource and has been collecting materials by and about Lesbians and Greater Cincinnati LGBTQ+ communities for more than three decades.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2024, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2024, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $113k to $167k (+48%).
