ArrangementThis collection divided into four series:
DescriptionThis collection documents both LGBA activities and issues affecting lesbian, gay, and bisexual people at Princeton and elsewhere. Since the LGBA is generally a student organization, the completeness of this collection varies according to student interest in collecting material. The office files since the arrival of the director are no less incomplete.Series 1, Organizational Papers, 1983-1991, contains official papers and correspondence of the LGBA and its predecessors. For both political and practical reasons, the Alliance has had very little structure - officers have usually been selected by default and have very little power - so there is no constitution and few meeting minutes. [Web Master's Note: Constitution in Progress] Series 2, Programs 1973-1995, charts the activities of the various groups within the LGBA - women's groups, men's groups, the bisexuals' group - plus events (both special and annual) sponsored by the Alliance. While there are some memos, schedules, and newsletters, the bulk of these files contain flyers and newspaper stories regarding these programs. Series 3, Publications, 1978-1994, contains general advertisements, flyers, and newsletters not related to specific programs. Series 4. Subject files, 1972-1995, is largely made up of newspaper clippings, mainly from The Daily Princetonian, regarding various issues concerning gay, lesbian, and bisexual life at Princeton and elsewhere. These files describe the Alliance's activism as well as the polemics on campus concerning homosexuality and the Alliance's activities. Subject HeadingsThe following added entries have been assigned to this collection to highlight significant sources (other than the main entry), subjects, and forms of the collection's materials. Where possible Library of Congress Subject Headings have been used, and the forms of names reflect international cataloging standards. As a result, all of these entries may be search in the Department's database (MASC), in the Library's online catalog, and the public card catalog to find other related material.COLLEGE STUDENTS--NEW JERSEY--PRINCETON--SOCIETIES AND CLUBS-20TH CENTURY HOMOSEXUALITY--NEW JERSEY--PRINCETON--20TH CENTURY GAY ACTIVISTS--NEW JERSEY--PRINCETON--20TH CENTURY GAY COLLEGE STUDENTS--NEW JERSEY--PRINCETON--20TH CENTURY GAY MEN--NEW JERSEY--PRINCETON--20TH CENTURY LESBIANS--NEW JERSEY--PRINCETON--20TH CENTURY PRINCETON UNIVERSITY--SOCETIES, ETC.
