{"value"=>"<p>Donaldson's writings include diaries; manuscripts; typescripts and tear sheets of published and unpublished essays and poems; news articles written for the Associated Press, <span class=\"title\">Virginia Pilot</span>, and <span class=\"title\">Overseas Weekly</span>; and some unidentified notes and fragments. The material is arranged alphabetically by the title of the work when known. A few folders contain correspondence, news clippings, and printed material gathered by Donaldson in the course of his research for the project concerned. There are also a few items of promotional material issued in connection with various writings.</p> <p>Donaldson's college years are particularly well-documented by such items as a diary kept between 1966 and 1968 (box 7, folder 18), class notes and papers (box 7, folders 14 and 23), and an article on gay student life which appeared in the <span class=\"title\">Columbia Daily Spectator</span> (box 7, folder 3). Also of interest from this period are typescripts of Donaldson's Student Homophile League news columns (box 9, folder 14) written for the newspaper <span class=\"title\">Gay Power</span>.</p> <p>Writings from later in Donaldson's life include typescripts and publication tear sheets of many \"Donny the Punk\" articles on music, sexuality, ang religion; his essays on the sexual victimization of male prisoners; and scholarly writing in the fields of gay and bisexual history, such as an essay written in collaboration with Wayne Dynes (box 7, folder 30).</p>"}
