#1, March-June 1972
Subseries Scope and Content Summary
This subseries contains photographs published or submitted for publication to the Advocate or NewsWest, or related to (viz., from the same shoot or film roll as) photographs published in these newspapers. The bulk of the photographs relate to the Advocate, and those that were published bear Advocate markup instructions on front and back. A significant number of the unpublished photographs represent images missing from sets in the Advocate Records collection held by ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives. The photographs removed from the Advocate photo morgue do not match any discernable selection criteria, and the circumstances of their removal into Cole's private possession (where one of them was trimmed to fit an oval frame) are not known. The principal photographer represented is Walt Blumoff, followed by Lee Mason, Pat Rocco, and Bud McGinnis. The subjects are primarily political events, including demonstrations, meetings of gay activists with political leaders, and legislative hearings. Other events covered include high-profile gay "weddings" and gay pride marches. The subseries also contains several "formal" (i.e., studio) photographs of individuals, such as ONE, Inc., co-founder Dorr Legg, and three files (Photo Files #'s 1-2 and Gay Activist Personalities) of photographs of unidentified individuals or undated events.
