Robert Gaylor collection of LGBTQ Periodicals
Skip to main content
Collection
Identifier: OU-SC-GAYLOR-PER
Scope and Contents
The majority of LGBTQ periodicals in the Robert Gaylor collection were published in Southeast Michigan or the state of Michigan as a whole, but a smaller portion of the collection includes publications from other parts of the country and abroad, determined solely by Robert Gaylor's travels or friends' gifts. They include all types of LGBT periodicals, from scholarly journals to local church newsletters. Some are well-known titles of the LGBT press in Michigan, like Between the Lines or the Same-sex attracted Liberator (published by the Gay Liberation Front of Detroit in the 1970s), while others are lesser known, one-off outlets.
The collection is roughly arranged by type of periodicals: scholarly, political and activist, news and popular, entertainment and erotica, directories and event programs, flyers and newsletters. Publications evolve or diversify, so some periodicals cover two or more types.
Some of the Gaylor collection periodicals have been cataloged by title and can also be found using the library's search system.
