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.

Description
An account of the resource
The Chiltern Mountain Club, New England's oldest LGBT outing club, was founded in 1978 by Sturgis Haskins. This photograph shows group a of men walking in the Blue Hills, during the Chiltern Mountain Club's first annual Hike for Life- To Fight Aids. 90 hikers raised nearly $10,000 for the AIDS Action Committee during the walk. Checkpoints at the 1/3 and 2/3 marks assured that the walkers completed the entire route. The event was repeated, with increasing success, in 1984 and 1985. In 1986 the hike was discontinued, and the Club encouraged members to instead participate in the AIDS Action Committee's first Boston-area pledge walk, now known as From All Walks of Life.
