About Paul Fasana

Lived 1933 – 2021 (aged 87). Paul Fasana was a librarian.

Paul Fasana (died April 2021) was an American librarian and archivist.

Born in Utah to Mary and Oreste Fasana, he moved to San Francisco by age six. He enlisted in the U.S. Army and served the Korean War. He used funding from the GI Bill to enter the University of California, Berkeley, receiving a bachelor's degree in 1959 and a Master of Library Science in 1960.

From his retirement until his death, Fasana served in a volunteer capacity as the chief archivist of the Stonewall National Museum and Archives (SNMA). He was responsible for organizing three warehouses of content into a single accessible collection. A SNMA executive director said "More than any other single individual, [Fasana] is responsible for the richness of the vast archives at Stonewall... Future generations of scholars and researchers will owe him a debt of gratitude". The SNMA archival collection is named the Fasana/Graham collection in recognition of Fasana and his longtime partner Robert Graham.
