The collection comprises correspondence, meeting minutes, clippings, and legal papers, 1949-1990, from Henry S. Glazier. The bulk of the materials document Glazier's involvement in the Jewish Big Brothers and the Big Brothers of America and his appeal in the 1970s to change its policy on banning gay men from membership. The collection also includes appeal letters Glazier sent to several New York organizations and academic institutions urging for anti-discrimination policies regarding homosexuals; and photocopies of gay-related legal documents sent out by the New York Civil Liberties Union.
