"It is as if
this most vital of human concerns is filled with too many
dangers to allow it to be studied seriously."
-David
B. Goodstein
Welcome!
The Human
Sexuality Collection seeks to preserve and make accessible
primary sources that document historical shifts in the
social construction of sexuality, with a focus on U.S.
lesbian and gay history and the politics of pornography. We
are actively expanding the Collection and are seeking gifts
of personal papers, organizational records, rare books, and
periodicals that reflect changing views on sexuality.
Through this program, Cornell University is working to
ensure that a more complete historical record of sexuality
will be available to researchers.
We thank Bruce
Voeller and David B. Goodstein for their vision and impetus
to create the Human Sexuality Collection. Our
advisory
committee
comprised of political and cultural activists, scholars,
librarians, and archivists got us off to a good start and
helped us define our direction. Continuing thanks go as well
to all the other friends who contribute to the growth and
success of this historical resource.
