Background

Scope and content:

The bulk of this collection consists of 35mm color slides taken by William P. Gaddis, Jr., aka Aunt Gladyce, in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. Events and people documented include motorcycle runs (1960-1963), sailors (1949-1954) and friends at the beach (1954). The motorcycle club was probably the Satyrs. There is also a gay trivia game from the 1970s. For more information on Gaddis, see the William P. Gaddis Jr. papers (2002-32), that document his life as a gay man from 1939-1981.
