Although the pneers of the gay rights movement are ld by civil libertarians and activists for their ntributn to the polil and social liberatn of homosexuals, they are also signifint for their ncern regnizg the importance of llectg and prervg materials relatg to homosexuals and their vehicl of self-exprsn and intifitn.

The History of Lbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgenr Studi, and Queer Studi at UCLA UCLA has sponsored rearch lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr * history of gay and lesbian studies *

Yet this nascent attempt at intifyg and llectg materials relatg to the homosexual experience was self hibed and circumscribed by the need of many lbians and gay men to lead hidn liv, fearful that self-disclosure would rult a loss of employment or legal difficulti.

After a Southern California school district rejected a state-endorsed social studi curriculum that clus material on gay rights, top state officials are vowg to buy a textbook qutn and distribute to stunts before the new school year. * history of gay and lesbian studies *

Of urse, this very secrecy has ma rearch strategi to the area of gay studi problematic, wh scholars eher attemptg to tu meangs not overtly exprsed historil rerds or employg materials (such as urt or police reports) to intify behavr not discsed more nventnal sourc.

The archiv clu the rerds of anizatns such as the Gay Activists Alliance and the Mattache Society; the personal papers of Arthur Bell, Jonathan Katz, and other gay men and lbians; gay- and lbian-related perdils, both domtic and foreign; ephemera such as posters, flyers, announcements, gay ic and lorg books, t-shirts, buttons and gam; and d-visual materials.

Reflectg the age of s time, the Dictnary Catalog provis no subject headg for Gay and few entri n be found unr Lbian or Homosexualy; the ma subject entry for material alg wh male and female homosexualy is Sexual Inversn. For example, enterg Gays Milary as a subject headg retriev no rerds; however, utilizg the terms as keywords do rult retrievg a catn which, when displayed as a full rerd, yields the appropriate subject headgs through which other relevant tl n be found. The qutn of appropriate subject headgs for this new disciple and the value of same for rearchers is ably addrsed by Ellen Greenblatt her say "Homosexualy: The Evolutn of a Concept the Library of Congrs Subject Headgs" Gay and Lbian Library Service (JFE 91-2095) which provis an excellent overview and guil.
