Subjects, circa 1895-2000
Scope and Contents note
This sub-series consists of subject files found scattered throughout Judd’s collection when it entered archival custody. Photographs form the bulk of the materials, together with clippings from newspapers and the popular press. The subjects include biographies and obituaries; film reviews; drag clubs (Club My-O-My and Finocchios); college and military drag; ballet; opera; organizations, including the Bohemian and Elks clubs and the E T V C (Educational Transvestite Channel); and events, such as the naval Crossing the Equator Ceremony (1936, 1947), the Castro Street Fair (1979-1982), Halloween (1982), and San Francisco Imperial Court coronations (1983, 1993); and parades, including New Orleans Mardi Gras, Philadelphia Mummers, and San Francisco Pride (1978, 1981, 1982). Additional materials include unidentified photographs and photographic negatives, and photocopies of sheet music covers. The relevance to cross-dressing of some of the materials, such as publicity stills and newspaper clippings relating to movie serials derived from comics, and sheet music of songs on YMCA themes, is not readily apparent.
