"The
History of the LGBT Movement in Austin" |
This section of this site will feature downloadable and searchable PDF files of selected gay & lesbian publications, mostly from Austin. This is by no means all of the ones that existed, just the ones to which I had access, and all are rare and interesting. If you can provide other issues of these and similar publications for scanning purposes, please contact me. I am displaying these in roughly year order. Access to these publications is courtesy of the University of Houston LGBT Special Collections and the University of Texas San Antonio Libraries Special Collections. Additional references from Austin History Center.
