These files document the lives of LGBTQ individuals from 1940 to 2012, the organizations they founded, the discrimination they faced, and the devastation of the AIDS crisis. Most of the items concern individuals or groups from California. Founded in 1972 as the Gay People's Union, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance (GLA) formed to advocate and provide support for gay and lesbian students, faculty, and staff at the Stanford campus. The materials collected here cover the years 1973 to 1984, and include correspondence, clippings, a constitution, resolutions, event publicity material, and project proposals. This collection is vital for anyone researching the many facets of LGBTQ life in California and the United States in the second half of the twentieth century.}, recid = {885763}, pages = {1 online resource (8 manuscripts, 1 photograph) :}, }
