{"value"=>"<p>This series charts the involvement of Gittings and Lahusen in organizations throughout their careers as activists. Gittings lived as a public figure and her involvement in organizations is often noted; Lahusen participated more privately.</p> <p>The types of material and the level of documentation of their work with individual organizations will differ. Some sections, like the American Library Association's Gay Task Force and the Daughters of Bilitis, vividly represent the donors' involvement through years of correspondence, drafts of publications, and participation in conference proceedings. Other sections, like the American Psychiatric Association and some files in Other organizations, may primarily consist of printed matter collected by the donors, with sparse evidence of their participation.</p> <p>Some correspondence written on behalf of early homophile organizations may have been separated by the donors prior to donation and may be found in Series I. Correspondence. This is especially true with correspondents Foster Gunnison and Frank Kameny. It is advised that researchers check relevant organizations, any related organizations, and the general correspondence series for correspondence affiliated with homophile organizations. Selected ephemera and printed material from these organizations may be found in subject files and with lecture materials for speaking engagements.</p> <p>The organizational papers are arranged alphabetically by organization name:</p> <p>A. American Library Association's Gay Task Force B. American Psychiatric Association C. Daughters of Bilitis D. East Coast Homophile Organizations E. Eastern Regional Conference of Homophile Organizations F. Gay Activists Alliance G. Gay Rights National Lobby and the Human Rights Campaign H. Homophile Action League I. Mattachine Society J. National Gay Archives and Library Committee K. National Gay Task Force L. National Planning Conference of Homophile Organizations M. North American Conference for Homophile Organizations N. Pennsylvania Council for Sexual Minorities O. Other organizations</p>"}
