      title = {The Homophile movement : papers of Donald Stewart Lucas,  1941-1976.},
      abstract = {This collection documents the activist and professional  activities of Donald Stewart Lucas, a central figure in the  1950s and 1960s homophile (gay civil rights) movement in  San Francisco. The materials in this collection showcase  the homophile movement and the manifestation of antipoverty  measures in predominantly gay areas of San Francisco. Lucas  became acquainted with the gay-rights oriented Mattachine  Society in 1953 and quickly achieved a position of  leadership in the organization, alongside Harold (Hal)  Call. The Lucas papers include a nearly complete set of  meeting minutes of the Mattachine Society coordinating  council, annual meetings of the national organization, and  conventions, including notes on the two conventions in 1953  that witnessed a change in the leadership of the  organization. The Mattachine Society correspondence not  only documents the function of the organization, but also  provides first-person accounts of the lives of gay people  in the 1950s and 1960s. The collection also contains the  records of Pan-Graphic Press (cofounded by Lucas and Call  in 1954) and the Mattachine Review, including  correspondence with authors and documentation of the  business finances. Rare and original Pan-Graphic Press  publications, including Helen Branson's The Gay Bar (1957),  can be found here as well.},
