The Valerie Johnson collection focuses on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth, especially in education. A portion of the collection contains education material, teachers' handbooks, flyers, notes and other teaching material from organizations such as Project 10, Gay-Straight Alliance Network, California Teachers Association, National Education Association, and Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). These materials were mostly compiled for workshops at conferences, including the 12th Annual University of California LGBT Association Conference in 2001 and the GLSEN Conference in 2000. Another portion of the collection consists of clippings and internet printouts with information about LGBT youth, children and families; schooling and bullying; religious gays; and broader LGBT-related topics between 1992 and 2003.
