Tim Mayhew Collection on Gay Rights, 1964-1999.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/60531907

The Tim Mayhew Collection on Gay Rights documents a broad range of gay organizations in Seattle from the 1960s through the 1980s. The material includes organizational papers such as by-laws, minutes, and correspondence, as well as fliers, newsletters, brochures, programs, and other ephemera. Mayhew collected much of the material himself in the course of actively participating in the various organizations represented, but he also collected material from groups he was not directly involved in. Some material was given to him by people who wanted to add to his informal archive or sent to him in his capacity as Seattle editor of the Northwest Gay Review. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to determine the original source of the material or the extent of Mayhew's own involvement with a given organization. Mayhew focused his collecting on political and civil rights organizations, including the Dorian Society (later the Seattle Gay Alliance), the Seattle Municipal Elections Committee for Gays, and the Washington Sexual Minorities Committee of the American Civil Liberties Union. Material from gay religious organizations such as the Metropolitan Community Church and Evangelicals Concerned, a group for gay Evangelical Christians. Accession 4440-2 consists of handbills, fliers, and other ephemera related to gay activities and gay organizations, particularly in Seattle. The materials, which are unprocessed, span the years 1978 to 1998, with the bulk of the materials dating from 1995 to 1998.
