Name Files, 1977-2000

 Series
Identifier: 2.

Scope and Contents

The series primarily comprises newspaper and magazine clippings, but also includes book covers and excerpts, flyers and other publicity materials, event programs, pamphlets, Web site printouts, blog and listserv postings, and other materials documenting members of the Jewish LGBT community, 1977-2000. The content includes articles written by and about the individual; interviews; reviews of books, music, movies, plays, exhibitions, comedy shows, and special performances; biographies; bibliographies; advertisements and other promotional material for events, merchandise, and services; wedding announcements; obituaries; works of fiction; comic strips; recipes; photographs; drawings; and event calendars.

These clippings appear to have been used in conjunction with the Faces Project. Sleeved and mounted clippings may indicate those materials removed from the Faces Project files or intended as additions to it. Empty folders may indicate materials that have been pulled for use in the Faces Project.

Note that duplication should be expected across the materials in the Faces Project, subject files, and publications files. Duplication also can be expected within the series between folders designated by a letter of the alphabet (A, B, C, etc.) and folders listed under individual names.

Processing Information

The original folders have not been replaced due to their good condition and archival value. Some folders have blue trimmed labels with print text, indicating a possible early arrangement of clippings prior to the development of the Faces Project. Empty blue folders suggest that these materials may have been moved to the Faces Project at a later date. The handwritten text of the individual name labels comes in pencil, pen, and felt-tipped markers as well as in variable handwriting styles, perhaps indicating different times periods and people involved in the cataloging.
