This subseries contains materials relating to Lombardi's formal academic studies, through 1977 at UCLA, and from 1983 at ONE Institute for Homophile Studies Graduate School. The materials for Lombardi's studies at UCLA include papers, photocopies, bibliographies, and notes for courses in German language, literature, and film. The materials for Lombardi's studies at ONE Institute include similar materials on the history of homosexuality in Germany and the treatment of homosexuality in German literature, focusing on the period before 1900. The Curricula files contain additional papers, photocopies, and notes on homosexuality in Germany in the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries; the dates of the materials they contain suggest they were created in the interval between Lombardi's studies at UCLA and at ONE Institute. The subseries also includes his research grant applications, copy of Don Amador's 1977 Gay Studies guide, materials relating to Lombardi's participation in the Gay Student's Union at Los Angeles City College in 1979/80, a file of correspondence with the academic administration at ONE Institute from 1982 to 1986, note cards on German literature and bibliographic cards for Lombardi's dissertation, and reading lists for courses in the German Homophile Movement and Homophile Literature that Lombardi taught at ONE Institute in 1984 and 1987.
