Scope and Content of Collection
The Ron Wright oral history collection contains two audiotaped interviews, photographs, draft transcripts, and a final manuscript,

In telling his life story, Wright also talks about general LGBT history in the San Francisco Bay Area, his relationship with
filmmaker Derek Jarman and his childhood in Canada. The interview was conducted by his friend, oral historian Jeff Friedman.
