Research material and notes Subseries 1.3 circa 1950-1980

This subseries comprises photocopied book excerpts, journal and magazine articles that reflect significant aspects of Harry Hay's research interests.

These texts appear in two folders labeled "Mattachine Research." A third folder contains two articles on archetypal psychology in Jungian thought (1976), and one on formulating a new age, "new human agenda" (1978). These articles pertain to Hay's contributions to the Radical Faerie movement in the late 1970s and beyond.
