Processing Information

Although the photographs are believed to have come from one photograph album, the images of the Christopher Street West pride parade and of friends gathering are of a less certain identification with Stuart Szidak.

Acquisition Information

Photographs may have come to the International Gay & Lesbian Archives in 1991 after the passing of Stuart Szidak.

Custodial History

The name Stuart Szidak derives from a name on the back of one of the photographs (a group shot) with a request for more copies. A letter in the collection addressed to "Stu" from "David" adds to the evidence that the materials were once the possession of Stuart Szidak.
