BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE:
Tommy’s Connection began in 1980 as Tommy’s New England Magazine, a small free
publication with a variety of short-form content and various photographs of nude and
semi-nude men. Although Tommy’s occasionally featured political article (particularly
�around AIDS and anti-gay violence), the majority of its content focused on the bars,
clubs, and arts community in Boston and around New England.
Tommy’s went through several name changes in its six year run, but consistently focused
activities in and around New England, primarily oriented towards gay men.
SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE:
This collection consists of seven record cartons (7 linear feet) of the various
incarnations/title changes of the original publication, Tommy’s Connection.
This collection is held at our offsite location. Please contact The History
Project to make arrangements to see this collection.
