An account of the resource
Gay Community News was a weekly journal published in Boston from 1973 to 1992 by the Bromfield Street Educational Foundation. It was an important resource for the LGBT community, reporting a wide variety of LGBT related news. <br /><br />The GCN photograph collection housed at The History Project in Boston, MA consists of approximately 1500 photographs, most of which are black and white prints. The photographs were taken for use in the journal, many appearing in the publication, and donated to The History Project after the closure of the journal. History Project staff members were responsible for creating three series of photographs, categorizing the images by 1. Organizations, 2. People, and 3. Demonstrations. <br /><br />The History Project also houses a complete run of the journal Gay Community News. A selection of the photographs from the Organizations series is available on this Omeka site. The photographs are from a wide variety of organization in the Boston area, ranging from protest groups, to musical groups, to political groups, to theater groups. The entire Organizations series has been digitized and may be available through email by contacting The History Project at <a href="mailto:info@historyproject.org">info@historyproject.org</a>.<br /><br />As of Feburary 2024, approximatley 150 more items were digitized and made accessible including from the "People" and "Staff" series in celebration of GCN's 50th anniversary. Digitization and description were completed by Marco Lanier with the support of the Visual Resources Assoication's 2024 Internship Award.

HARRY HAY GOT UNDER MY WINGS
A REMEMBRANCE BY JIM JACKSON
It was 1984 and Gay Pride in Boston. I happened to be in New York City the weekend
before and gave Harry and John a ride up to Boston. Harry was due to give a talk at
the Pride rally in the Commons on the following Saturday. The ride was my best time
ever with them. Harry rode in the back seat and John sat up front next to me.
Surprisingly for someone known to be very verbal, Harry chatted a bit about the gay
pride movement and then nodded off to sleep. He was in his 70’s at the time and was
tired traveling from California to NY and the talks he gave in the city. John was very
talkative and he gave me lots of information on all things Harry, the gay movement and
the faeries, as well as himself and their relationship. This was the first time I heard John
say his faerie name was N’John because of his attachment to Harry. Also Harry was
known as the Duchess. I wish I had recorded it all. At 75 myself I realize how much I’ve
lost to sketchy memory.
Once in Boston I dropped them off where they were staying. The next day I went back
to work finishing an exhibition installation project for the Children’s Zoo at Franklin Park
in Boston. Putting the last touches on a sculpted cement wall of what was to be the
prairie dog exhibit I stepped back admiring what I had done and then stepped back
and back some more and then fell into the otter pit. I dropped 4 feet onto solid cement.
The empty pit could have been mistaken for a dry swimming pool. I managed to drag
myself back up out of the pit and went for help because my right arm was in pretty bad
shape. I had landed on it and thought it might be broken. I was taken to an emergency
room and x-rayed. My wrist was fractured and I had badly bruised my right leg. I
limped out with my arm in a sling.
That must have been a Tuesday or Wednesday because I stayed home in bed for two
or three days. Having given the ride to Harry and John, I was determined not to miss
the Gay Pride March. By Saturday I felt functional enough to give it a try even though
my arm was still in a sling. So, my partner Jay and I went off to join the march. The
Boston Faerie Circle was all together with Harry and John marching along at the usual
parade pace and, as often happens, a gap occurred behind the faeries and the next
contingent who were about a block back. About that time my right leg gave out and
started giving me real pain. I was forced to slow my pace and trailed the faerie
contingent back into the middle of the gap. I found myself limping all alone right in the
middle of the no-man’s land of Boylston Street. Shortly thereafter Harry happened to
turn around, saw me limping and dropped back. He put his 72 year old left hand under
my 40 year old right arm and gave me support. It was an emotionally empowering
experience. Me using Harry, a living pioneer of the LGBTQ movement, as a crutch in
the middle of a Gay Pride March. I had the star of the show all to myself. As we
finished the last few blocks, we went into the rally site where I sat down and he
delivered his keynote call to action.
Harry Hay was a sweetie.
�Note: Harry Hay’s speech is reprinted on page 71 on Great Speeches on Gay Rights,
edited by James Daley titled “Unity and More in ’84.” Published by Dover Publications,
Mineola, New York, copyright 2010. I found it on an internet search as a sample from
the book. It is a fascinating document of our history.

Description
An account of the resource
Gay Community News was a weekly journal published in Boston from 1973 to 1992 by the Bromfield Street Educational Foundation. It was an important resource for the LGBT community, reporting a wide variety of LGBT related news. <br /><br />The GCN photograph collection housed at The History Project in Boston, MA consists of approximately 1500 photographs, most of which are black and white prints. The photographs were taken for use in the journal, many appearing in the publication, and donated to The History Project after the closure of the journal. History Project staff members were responsible for creating three series of photographs, categorizing the images by 1. Organizations, 2. People, and 3. Demonstrations. <br /><br />The History Project also houses a complete run of the journal Gay Community News. A selection of the photographs from the Organizations series is available on this Omeka site. The photographs are from a wide variety of organization in the Boston area, ranging from protest groups, to musical groups, to political groups, to theater groups. The entire Organizations series has been digitized and may be available through email by contacting The History Project at <a href="mailto:info@historyproject.org">info@historyproject.org</a>.<br /><br />As of Feburary 2024, approximatley 150 more items were digitized and made accessible including from the "People" and "Staff" series in celebration of GCN's 50th anniversary. Digitization and description were completed by Marco Lanier with the support of the Visual Resources Assoication's 2024 Internship Award.

Title
A name given to the resource
"NINETY-FIVE: ANNUS SEMIHORRIBILILIS"
Description
An account of the resource
This printed letter appears to be a summary of the author's academic and personal affairs of the year 1995 - it may have been sent out to a number of recipients, as it is not addressed to anyone, and is printed from a computer with a handwritten signature and personalized postscript. The signature appears to be "Wayne" or "Wayle" and the post script reads "I hope that your own troubles are receding."
The letter complains of being pushed out of academic publishing by "a cabal of gay-male leftists and feminazis" due to the author having used pseudonyms to the point of damaged credibility, and regrets that his "humongous manuscript The History of Art History" has not yet found a publisher. The author reports a change of role "vis-a-vis gay and lesbian studies" due to "a postmodern pseudofield that is obscuring, if not obliterating the possibilities for genuine scholarship." On a personal note, the author describes travel to Costa Rica and London, with a companion named Neal.

Title
A name given to the resource
Gay Community News (Publication) Collection
Description
An account of the resource
Gay Community News began in 1973 as a local newsletter featuring a calendar of events for the GLBT community in Boston and New England. Its news coverage quickly expanded, and in a few short years, it was a national publication in both scope and readership.
During a critical period in the gay liberation and the lesbian and gay rights movement, GCN was a nationally respected, and oftentimes controversial, source of information about the community and a catalyst for political debate.
GCN published as a weekly from 1973 to 1992, and as a quarterly until 1999.

An account of the resource
<em><span>Who made this?</span><br /><br /></em>Em Gamber, Black & Pink Boston<br /><br /><em>Where was it made or acquired?<br /><br /></em><span>Photo at Jamaica Plain branch of the USPS<br /><br /></span><em>Story<br /><br /></em><span>Black & Pink is an abolitionist organization that seeks to build community and liberation of LGBTQ and HIV+ people impacted by the Prison Industrial Complex. We know that our family held within prisons is particularly at risk during the COVID-19 pandemic, so we raised over $30,000 to send to our members in prisons across New England. These letters are from those members telling us what they spent that money on (lots of soap!), thanking us for the donation during this crisis, and looking for connections outside prison walls. LGBTQ people know we cannot rely upon the government to help us in times of crisis, we are each others' help and we survive through mutual aid. </span>

Gay Community News was a weekly journal published in Boston from 1973 to 1992 by the Bromfield Street Educational Foundation. It was an important resource for the LGBT community, reporting a wide variety of LGBT related news. <br /><br />The GCN photograph collection housed at The History Project in Boston, MA consists of approximately 1500 photographs, most of which are black and white prints. The photographs were taken for use in the journal, many appearing in the publication, and donated to The History Project after the closure of the journal. History Project staff members were responsible for creating three series of photographs, categorizing the images by 1. Organizations, 2. People, and 3. Demonstrations. <br /><br />The History Project also houses a complete run of the journal Gay Community News. A selection of the photographs from the Organizations series is available on this Omeka site. The photographs are from a wide variety of organization in the Boston area, ranging from protest groups, to musical groups, to political groups, to theater groups. The entire Organizations series has been digitized and may be available through email by contacting The History Project at <a href="mailto:info@historyproject.org">info@historyproject.org</a>.<br /><br />As of Feburary 2024, approximatley 150 more items were digitized and made accessible including from the "People" and "Staff" series in celebration of GCN's 50th anniversary. Digitization and description were completed by Marco Lanier with the support of the Visual Resources Assoication's 2024 Internship Award.

A name given to the resource
8 Black Women Why Did They Die?
Date
A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource
circa 1978-1979
Description
An account of the resource
The title on the cover is "8 Black Women Why Did They Die" but there is a stylistic treatment to note that this is a possible third version of the pamphlet, with the word "Six" having been crossed out and the number "7" having been crossed out. This implies that first six, then seven, and now eight Black women have died.
On page 1: "This pamphlet was prepared by the Combahee River Collective, a Boston Black Feminist Organization." The interior pages of the pamphlet include a poem called "with no immediate cause" by ntozake shange that appeared in her book "nappy edges," which was published in 1978 by St. Martin's Press. The authors also provide guidance on self protection and a list of community organizations and resources related to violence against women.

Title
A name given to the resource
George Chapin Scott and Edward F. Bernier Collection
Description
An account of the resource
George Chapin Scott was born August 1916 in Heath, Massachusetts, the only child to Myria F. Chapin and John H. Scott. He first contacted The History Project in 2000 to donate a large collection of local lesbian and gay newspapers, including: The Guide, Tommy’s and Next. He lived on Elm Street, Davis Square, Somerville, and died April 12, 2005 at age 88. He was a member of Boston Prime Timers, a 25-year member of the Monday Night Bowling League, and founding treasurer of the Somerville Committee for a Response to AIDS (SCRA). He was the friend of Robert J. Publicover who was a longtime Somerville resident, a publisher of Somerville Journal, the 1992 recipient of Bay Windows Newspaper Award, Mr. Gay New England, and founder of SCRA. Publicover was also the executor of George’s estate. Among other friends of George’s were William Wood of Medford, Rudy Corvo of Boston, Bruce Carpenter of Granby, Jack Sheehan of Quincy, James Cyr of Quincy, Robert Hanson of Provincetown, and Larry Hannay of Somerville.
Edward F. Bernier, or Eddie, was born in Pennsylvania in 1930 and was George’s partner until he died in an auto accident in Wellfleet, Cape Cod, in early 1961. He was a hairdresser in Central Square, Cambridge, on Massachusetts Avenue. This collection contains a large number of photographs of Eddie as well as photographs taken by Eddie.
After George passed away in 2005, all of his stuff was thrown out, perhaps by his landlord. A woman in the neighborhood, Julie Katz, found his collection on the ground by chance, and picked up as much as she could carry. She later contacted The History Project regarding the collection. For this reason, most of the materials lost any original order, and the collection was neither well organized nor comprehensive. Photographs constitute the largest part of the collection. There are a number of photographs of Eddie, as well as old family photos from the late 19th century. Included in the collection are letters, address books, business cards, pamphlets, certificates, high school journals, and news clippings.

A name given to the resource
George Chapin Scott and Edward F. Bernier Collection
Description
An account of the resource
George Chapin Scott was born August 1916 in Heath, Massachusetts, the only child to Myria F. Chapin and John H. Scott. He first contacted The History Project in 2000 to donate a large collection of local lesbian and gay newspapers, including: The Guide, Tommy’s and Next. He lived on Elm Street, Davis Square, Somerville, and died April 12, 2005 at age 88. He was a member of Boston Prime Timers, a 25-year member of the Monday Night Bowling League, and founding treasurer of the Somerville Committee for a Response to AIDS (SCRA). He was the friend of Robert J. Publicover who was a longtime Somerville resident, a publisher of Somerville Journal, the 1992 recipient of Bay Windows Newspaper Award, Mr. Gay New England, and founder of SCRA. Publicover was also the executor of George’s estate. Among other friends of George’s were William Wood of Medford, Rudy Corvo of Boston, Bruce Carpenter of Granby, Jack Sheehan of Quincy, James Cyr of Quincy, Robert Hanson of Provincetown, and Larry Hannay of Somerville.
Edward F. Bernier, or Eddie, was born in Pennsylvania in 1930 and was George’s partner until he died in an auto accident in Wellfleet, Cape Cod, in early 1961. He was a hairdresser in Central Square, Cambridge, on Massachusetts Avenue. This collection contains a large number of photographs of Eddie as well as photographs taken by Eddie.
After George passed away in 2005, all of his stuff was thrown out, perhaps by his landlord. A woman in the neighborhood, Julie Katz, found his collection on the ground by chance, and picked up as much as she could carry. She later contacted The History Project regarding the collection. For this reason, most of the materials lost any original order, and the collection was neither well organized nor comprehensive. Photographs constitute the largest part of the collection. There are a number of photographs of Eddie, as well as old family photos from the late 19th century. Included in the collection are letters, address books, business cards, pamphlets, certificates, high school journals, and news clippings.

A name given to the resource
George Chapin Scott and Edward F. Bernier Collection
Description
An account of the resource
George Chapin Scott was born August 1916 in Heath, Massachusetts, the only child to Myria F. Chapin and John H. Scott. He first contacted The History Project in 2000 to donate a large collection of local lesbian and gay newspapers, including: The Guide, Tommy’s and Next. He lived on Elm Street, Davis Square, Somerville, and died April 12, 2005 at age 88. He was a member of Boston Prime Timers, a 25-year member of the Monday Night Bowling League, and founding treasurer of the Somerville Committee for a Response to AIDS (SCRA). He was the friend of Robert J. Publicover who was a longtime Somerville resident, a publisher of Somerville Journal, the 1992 recipient of Bay Windows Newspaper Award, Mr. Gay New England, and founder of SCRA. Publicover was also the executor of George’s estate. Among other friends of George’s were William Wood of Medford, Rudy Corvo of Boston, Bruce Carpenter of Granby, Jack Sheehan of Quincy, James Cyr of Quincy, Robert Hanson of Provincetown, and Larry Hannay of Somerville.
Edward F. Bernier, or Eddie, was born in Pennsylvania in 1930 and was George’s partner until he died in an auto accident in Wellfleet, Cape Cod, in early 1961. He was a hairdresser in Central Square, Cambridge, on Massachusetts Avenue. This collection contains a large number of photographs of Eddie as well as photographs taken by Eddie.
After George passed away in 2005, all of his stuff was thrown out, perhaps by his landlord. A woman in the neighborhood, Julie Katz, found his collection on the ground by chance, and picked up as much as she could carry. She later contacted The History Project regarding the collection. For this reason, most of the materials lost any original order, and the collection was neither well organized nor comprehensive. Photographs constitute the largest part of the collection. There are a number of photographs of Eddie, as well as old family photos from the late 19th century. Included in the collection are letters, address books, business cards, pamphlets, certificates, high school journals, and news clippings.

Description
An account of the resource
Pure Polyesther is a hilarious and subversive retelling of the Old Testament story of Esther. The Theater Offensive's purimspiel mixes slapstick, klezmer, cross-dressing, outrageous scenery-chewing, and queer coupling with an earnest message about being true to yourself and your community. First staged as a live-action production in 1992, Pure Polyesther has acquired a loyal following for its annual presentation during the festival of Purim. Information on back of photograph: Abe Rybeck and Damien Thibodeaux in Pure PolyESTHER: A Biblical Burlesque at the Boston Center for the Arts, March 14 through 24, presented by The Theater Offensive.

Gay Community News was a weekly journal published in Boston from 1973 to 1992 by the Bromfield Street Educational Foundation. It was an important resource for the LGBT community, reporting a wide variety of LGBT related news. <br /><br />The GCN photograph collection housed at The History Project in Boston, MA consists of approximately 1500 photographs, most of which are black and white prints. The photographs were taken for use in the journal, many appearing in the publication, and donated to The History Project after the closure of the journal. History Project staff members were responsible for creating three series of photographs, categorizing the images by 1. Organizations, 2. People, and 3. Demonstrations. <br /><br />The History Project also houses a complete run of the journal Gay Community News. A selection of the photographs from the Organizations series is available on this Omeka site. The photographs are from a wide variety of organization in the Boston area, ranging from protest groups, to musical groups, to political groups, to theater groups. The entire Organizations series has been digitized and may be available through email by contacting The History Project at <a href="mailto:info@historyproject.org">info@historyproject.org</a>.<br /><br />As of Feburary 2024, approximatley 150 more items were digitized and made accessible including from the "People" and "Staff" series in celebration of GCN's 50th anniversary. Digitization and description were completed by Marco Lanier with the support of the Visual Resources Assoication's 2024 Internship Award.

Title
A name given to the resource
George Chapin Scott and Edward F. Bernier Collection
Description
An account of the resource
George Chapin Scott was born August 1916 in Heath, Massachusetts, the only child to Myria F. Chapin and John H. Scott. He first contacted The History Project in 2000 to donate a large collection of local lesbian and gay newspapers, including: The Guide, Tommy’s and Next. He lived on Elm Street, Davis Square, Somerville, and died April 12, 2005 at age 88. He was a member of Boston Prime Timers, a 25-year member of the Monday Night Bowling League, and founding treasurer of the Somerville Committee for a Response to AIDS (SCRA). He was the friend of Robert J. Publicover who was a longtime Somerville resident, a publisher of Somerville Journal, the 1992 recipient of Bay Windows Newspaper Award, Mr. Gay New England, and founder of SCRA. Publicover was also the executor of George’s estate. Among other friends of George’s were William Wood of Medford, Rudy Corvo of Boston, Bruce Carpenter of Granby, Jack Sheehan of Quincy, James Cyr of Quincy, Robert Hanson of Provincetown, and Larry Hannay of Somerville.
Edward F. Bernier, or Eddie, was born in Pennsylvania in 1930 and was George’s partner until he died in an auto accident in Wellfleet, Cape Cod, in early 1961. He was a hairdresser in Central Square, Cambridge, on Massachusetts Avenue. This collection contains a large number of photographs of Eddie as well as photographs taken by Eddie.
After George passed away in 2005, all of his stuff was thrown out, perhaps by his landlord. A woman in the neighborhood, Julie Katz, found his collection on the ground by chance, and picked up as much as she could carry. She later contacted The History Project regarding the collection. For this reason, most of the materials lost any original order, and the collection was neither well organized nor comprehensive. Photographs constitute the largest part of the collection. There are a number of photographs of Eddie, as well as old family photos from the late 19th century. Included in the collection are letters, address books, business cards, pamphlets, certificates, high school journals, and news clippings.

Title
A name given to the resource
ACLU Gay Rights Chapter: "UPGRADING GAY & LESBIAN VETERAN DISCHARGES"
Description
An account of the resource
This pamphlet, created by the ACLU of South California Gay Rights Chapter, instructs veterans on how to apply to upgrade their discharge to honorable discharge, if they had been discharged "less than honorably" due to being (or being accused of being) gay or lesbian. The pamphlet explains that in 1976, Congress passed a law allowing all less-than-honorable discharges (or "undesirable discharges"), if "based solely on homosexuality," to be upgraded to honorable discharges, if application is made before January 1, 1980.
This upgrade was important for veterans in part because a dishonorable discharge disqualified them from medical benefits from VA Hospitals. If upgraded, benefits were retroactive to the date of application, according to the pamphlet.
This pamphlet was in Charles Shively's possession likely because his partner, Gordon Copeland, had been dishonorably discharged from the Air Force on April 3, 1953, In Charles' papers are also copies of letters written by Gordon to the Air Force asking for a hearing of his undesirable discharge due to "alleged homosexuality," as well as a letter to the Boston V.A. Regional Office requesting information on his VA benefits, both dated July 3, 1979.
