The collection consists of mainstream newspaper front pages and sections reporting on LGBT people or topics concerning LGBT people. The collection documents the transformation in the print media's coverage of LGBT people and concerns from reporting on "sexual deviants" through the assassination of Harvey Milk to the acceptance of marriage rights. The newspapers front pages were culled from the ONE Subject Files collection and donations from patrons.

Stamps designed and commissioned by Douglas Sandler to honor slain San Francisco supervisor, Harvey Milk and printed in 2012 by a company in Auckland, New Zealand. Sandler commissioned his own private stamps to create an interest in stamp collecting and the causes he supported.
