Scope and Content of Collection
This collection contains materials related to journalist and gay liberation activist, Konstantin Berlandt. Freelance journalist
Berlandt was editor-in-chief of UC-Berkeley's student newspaper, the "Daily Californian," and author of the 1965 series on
sexual minorities at Cal. The collection includes biographical materials; his high school yearbook; a diary; journalism and
other writings by Berlandt; typescripts of writings by other authors; and materials related to the estate and Trust of Morgan
Pinney (Berlandt was one of three trustees). The Trust gave money to various LGBT causes. Pinney was an advocate of LGBT media
and a former treasurer of the Gay and Lesbian Press Association. Included in Berlandt's papers are a wealth of materials related
to Pinney's unpublished biography of "Advocate" publisher and gay rights advocate, David B. Goodstein, called "David: King
of the Gays." GSSO linked terms: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GSSO_000374; http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/NCIT_C16529; http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GSSO_008497
