Series Scope and Content Summary
This series contains materials relating to Cole's career with three
Los Angles-area GLBT newspapers, first as News and Managing Editor of the
Advocate (1970-1974), as unnamed
contributor to the
Forum of Southern California (1974), and
as founder and editor of
NewsWest (1975). The materials include
correspondence, draft articles, typed reporter's notes, subject files, and
other documents that shed light on Cole's role as the first professional
newspaperman to run a gay newspaper in Los Angeles, and the often contentious
world of the Los Angeles gay press in the 1970s. The series is arranged in
three subseries, corresponding to the three newspapers for which Cole worked:
(1)
Advocate, (2)
Forum of Southern California, and (3)
NewsWest.

Subseries 1.1
Advocate
1970-1995
(bulk 1970-1974)
Physical Description: 0.6 linear foot.
Subseries Scope and Content Summary
This subseries contains materials relating to Cole's career as
News Editor, then Managing Editor, of the
Advocate. The series includes only
those files whose contents are specifically directed to or from the
Advocate or marked with the
Advocate stamp. The correspondence
file for 1974 includes an account by Cole, written late in the year, recounting
his work at the newspaper and his tumultuous relationship with owners Dick
Michaels and Bill Rand. Of the subject files, some (Gay Bishops, Criminal Law
Reform) appear to be general reference files; others (Bus Mystery, Frank Watts)
relate to specific stories published in the
Advocate. The files relating to the
Metropolitan Community Church include Cole's typed reporter's notes; additional
typed reporter's notes by Cole on stories relating to the Metropolitan
Community Church can be found in the Advocate Records collection, ONE National
Gay & Lesbian Archives. Audiocassettes with recorded interviews by Cole
relating to various news stories, including the Frank Watts story, can be found
in Subseries 8.2. Photographs published in the
Advocate, as well as unpublished
photographs received while Cole was associated with the newspaper, can be found
in Subseries 6.1.

Subseries Scope and Content Summary
The
Forum of Southern California was a
short-lived GLBT newspaper published in Los Angeles in early 1974 as an
alternative to the Advocate. Only two issues were published. Although his name
appears nowhere in either issue, Cole appears to have been largely responsible
for the style and content of the paper. This subseries consists of a single
folder containing draft articles for issue 1 of the paper. For photographs
published in issue 1, see Subseries 6.2; for copies of both issues, see
Subseries 5.1.

Subseries Scope and Content Summary
This subseries consists of materials relating to Cole's foundation
and editorship of the Los Angeles newspaper
NewsWest, which continued the
tradition of the
Advocate after the latter's purchase
by David Goodstein and removal to the San Francisco Bay area. The materials
include a proposal prepared by Cole for potential investors in the new
newspaper (originally entitled
The Alternate) as well as other
planning documents and receipts for outlays of money made by Cole in setting up
the paper. The documents also include draft articles, editorial logs and
mockups for the first three issues, as well as advertising logs for issues
4-33, and small files of general and internal correspondence. The Green
Carnation Newspapers file contains correspondence and other materials relating
to Cole's removal from the board and his attempts to recover his financial
investment in the newspaper, as well as legal papers relating to the
corporation's lease of an automobile. Photographs published in
NewsWest, as well as unpublished
photographs received while Cole was associated with the newspaper, can be found
in Subseries 6.1.

Cole's account of police harassment of spectators at the 1976 march); and
souvenir programs for 1974, 1976, and 1985. Other materials include binders
prepared by Communication Works detailing the firm's 1984 and 1985 public
relations campaigns on behalf of Christopher Street West, as well as documents
from 1995 and 1996, when Cole was editor of the association's newsletter.

Subject Files
1955-2003
(bulk 1969-1978)
Physical Description: 0.7 linear foot.
Series Scope and Content Summary
This series contains files on various subjects. Although a portion
of the materials was arranged in labeled files, the bulk was found loose
throughout the collection. Several of the files represent organizations on
whose boards Cole served (Gay Community Center of Orange County, H.E.L.P., the
Hollywood Hills Democratic Club) or to which he belonged (Archives,
Whitman-Radclyffe Foundation). Cole worked on several political campaigns
including as treasurer of the Friends of Burt Pines (for Los Angeles City
Attorney, 1973), and as writer for Herbert Selwyn (Democratic Party primary,
24th Congressional District, 1974). He was also editor of
GAY SIGnificance, the newsletter for gay
and lesbian members of MENSA. The Metropolitan Community Church file contains a
draft of a 1970 letter by Cole describing the circumstances of his first
contact with the church, and the part the church played in his coming out; the
Scientology file documents his early interest in the movement, which appears to
have influenced his writing of science fiction.

Series Scope and Content Summary
This series contains materials relating to Cole's private life. The
bulk of the materials consists of Cole's writings from the period 1952-1957.
The majority of these writings are science fiction short stories, which Cole
unsuccessfully submitted to the
Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction,
Imagination, and
Weird Tales; Cole submitted other short
stories to the
New Yorker,
Redbook, and
Ladies' Home Journal. The series also
includes three spiral notebooks containing manuscript drafts of short stories.
The correspondence files include 1962 correspondence with Joan Chandler, an
Englishwoman, concerning the presidency of John F. Kennedy; and 1971-1974 with
Ron Waters, who had left his possessions in Cole's care while he was serving
time in prison. The David Glascock file contains materials relating to Cole's
lawsuit against Glascock for failure to pay for an automobile purchased by
Glascock from Cole. The telephone and address book includes contact information
for Cole's personal friends and professional associates (including stringers
and reporters), as well as GLBT activists and celebrities.

Series Scope and Content Summary
This series contains printed materials found among Cole's papers. It
is arranged in two subseries: (1) 5.1 Newspapers, containing issues of several

Newspapers
1962-1977
Physical Description: 3.4 linear feet.
Subseries Scope and Content Summary
This subseries contains issues of several of the newspapers with
which Cole was associated. The issues of the
Dallas Morning News and
Dallas Times Herald document momentous
events, including John Glenn's earth orbit, John F. Kennedy's assassination and
Lee Harvey Oswald's slaying, the Apollo moon orbit, and Neil Armstrong's walk
on the moon. The newsroom copies of the
Los Angeles Advocate for 1967-1968
antedate Cole's arrival at the paper. Although his name does not appear
anywhere in either issue, Cole was largely responsible for the
Forum of Southern California, of which
only two issues were published in early 1974, during his second "sabbatical"
from the
Advocate (drafts of articles and
photographs used in issue 1 can be found in subseries 1.2 and 6.2,
respectively). The run of
NewsWest is incomplete, missing issues
13, 26-28, and 32-34; in addition, issue 54 is missing pages 5-36.

Photographs
1969-2004
Physical Description: 1.4 linear feet.
Series Scope and Content Summary
This series contains photographs found among Cole's papers. The bulk
consists of photographs published or submitted to the newspapers for which Cole
worked, in particular the
Advocate and
NewsWest (Subseries 6.1). The
photographs published in and submitted to the
Advocate derive from what is now the
Advocate Records collection held by ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives,
and how they came into Cole's private possession is not known. The principal
photographer represented is Walt Blumoff, followed by Lee Mason, Pat Rocco, and
Bud McGinnis; the subjects include demonstrations, meetings of gay activists
with political leaders, legislative hearings, high-profile gay "weddings", and
gay pride marches. The series also contains a small number of photographs
published in the first issue (1974) of the
Forum of Southern California (Subseries
6.2). Subseries 6.3 contains photographs relating to Cole's involvement with
Christopher Street West. The materials from the 1980s include photographs from
larger sets by Mitch Walker & Paul Meyers and possibly other photographers;
additional photographs from these sets can be found in the Christopher Street
West Collection and Christopher Street West Association Records, both at ONE
National Gay & Lesbian Archives. The materials for 2000, 2002, and 2004 are
preserved on CD-ROM, several of which are unreadable; the materials for 2003
exist in three different formats: (1) prints, (2) negatives, and (3) Kodak
PictureCD. The series also contains a small number of personal photographs
(Subseries 6.4).

Subseries Scope and Content Summary
This subseries contains photographs published or submitted for
publication to the
Advocate or
NewsWest, or related to (viz., from
the same shoot or film roll as) photographs published in these newspapers. The
bulk of the photographs relate to the
Advocate, and those that were
published bear
Advocate markup instructions on front
and back. A significant number of the unpublished photographs represent images
missing from sets in the Advocate Records collection held by ONE National Gay
& Lesbian Archives. The photographs removed from the Advocate photo morgue
do not match any discernable selection criteria, and the circumstances of their
removal into Cole's private possession (where one of them was trimmed to fit an
oval frame) are not known. The principal photographer represented is Walt
Blumoff, followed by Lee Mason, Pat Rocco, and Bud McGinnis. The subjects are
primarily political events, including demonstrations, meetings of gay activists
with political leaders, and legislative hearings. Other events covered include
high-profile gay "weddings" and gay pride marches. The subseries also contains
several "formal" (i.e., studio) photographs of individuals, such as ONE, Inc.,
co-founder Dorr Legg, and three files (Photo Files #'s 1-2 and Gay Activist
Personalities) of photographs of unidentified individuals or undated
events.
