Scope and Content of Collection
This very large collection contains videotapes produced by Charles Cyberski and his partner Richard Wright for their
mail-order business, MEN (Male Entertainement Network). Included are leather and drag contests, variety shows, the Gay
Games, coverage of events such as a gay cruise and the 1984 march on the Democratic Convention, and a few
personal/experimental pieces. Almost all of the video was shot on location in San Francisco and Chicago. Relevant items from
the collection were transferred to DV-AVI archival masters and AVC-MP4 service copies by RaineStudio
Audiovisual Production beginning in 2010. The collection is about 99 percent processed.
