Scope and arrangement
The records (1979-82) are arranged into three series: Series 1. Authors' Scripts; Series 2. Galleys of Articles Published in Christopher Street; and Series 3. Monographs. The bulk of the collection (Series 1) consists of authors' scripts of works of fiction and nonfiction in the field of gay literature which were submitted to the editor and publisher by literary agents and publishing houses for consideration for review or serialization in Christopher Street. A few of the scripts are accompanied by letters of transmittal from the agent or publisher. Many of the scripts bear editorial corrections.
Series 2 consists of galleys (and a few scripts) of articles published in Christopher Street which were being considered for publication in The Christopher Street Reader (New York, Coward, McCann & Geoghegan, c1983). Included also are galleys and scripts of articles published in Aphrodisiac, Fiction from Christopher Street (New York, Putnam, [1982]).
Series 3 consists of monographs (in typescript) of scholarly articles on gays, lesbians and homosexuality.
