This collection consists of reader surveys from two H.A.F. publications, "Girlfriends" and "On Our Backs." There are two types of surveys: one asks readers to offer their opinion about the magazines; the other is a lesbian sex survey, which provides insight into sexual behavior and sexual and gender identity. A small amount of demographic data about "Girlfriends" readership compiled from the surveys is included. The lesbian sex surveys from 2001 and 2003 comprise the bulk of the collection. Some surveys about "Girlfriends" are restricted because they contain names and addresses of respondents.
