Provenance
These materials were collected by Ron Illardo and donated by him to the MALGH in May 1990.
Scope and Content
The Illardo collection is an artificial collection comprised of a variety of literature dealing with the Lesbian and Gay movement in New York City and nationally. It consists primarily of pamphlets, handbills, articles, publicity materials, etc. issued by various organizations. The bulk of the material was issued between 1980 and 1989, although there are some materials which date to the 1970's. The collection is most valuable as a source of printed materials issued by various Gay and Lesbian organizations particularly in New York City.
