Guide to the Harry H. Weintraub Collection Of Gay-Related Photography And Historical Documentation, 1850s-2010

Photographs ranging from formal 19th-century portraits to candid 20th-century snapshots and Hollywood stars' studio portraits that provide a wide view of men's bodies and gay men's lives, styles, and activities from the 1850s to 2010, plus associated scrapbooks, greeting cards, programs from events, sound recordings, magazines, comic books, calendars, and ephemera. Exceeding 10,000 items in total, the collection richly documents gay male culture from many angles, featuring 1950s physique and nude photography by important studios and artists, images of drag queens, sexual activity, men together, men in the military, in athletics, and in dance, opera, and theater. Included are significant photographs of men of color and about 100 images of U.S. and European lesbians and women in drag.
