Abstract: Typescripts and editorial content, correspondence, advertising information, personnel records, distribution records, financial
records, notes, negatives, and publicity material, 1972-1979, from the bi-monthly gay and lesbian newsmagazine,
Coast to Coast Times and its predecessor
Pacific Coast Times, based in West Hollywood, California.
Administrative History
Coast to Coast Times was a bi-monthly gay and lesbian tabloid periodical and newsmagazine based in West Hollywood, California. It was essentially
a continuation of an earlier publication,
Pacific Coast Times, with the title change reflecting both a change in ownership (in 1978) and a transition from a regional to a national focus
in distribution and news coverage. The
Pacific Coast Times was published under the corporate name Coast Press Ltd.; the
Coast to Coast Times was published under Coast Times Publishing Co. Paul Nash served as one of the editors of
Coast to Coast Times.
