Hay's research interests. Hay identified readings in (a) the political dimensions of folk music and culture, and (b) evidence

of the Mattachine Society in the late 1940s. 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. A miscellaneous
folder at the end of the subseries is comprised of mostly undated material including developed notes, a portion of an untitled
historical essay, and a historical note on gay New York. Highlighting and margin notes by Hay appear on some the material.

Photographs Series 4.
1895-2002
Scope and Contents note
Photographs and negatives documenting the life of Harry Hay from childhood to the year of his death. Some of the initial photographs
are of Hay family ancestors, followed by others of Harry Hay as a child, with and without family members. Seven photographs
of Harry Hay taken between the 1930s and 1950s show Hay first as an aspiring actor, later as a married man. A series of photographs
taken in or around 1950 show Hay on a camping vacation with his adopted daughters.
The bulk of the photographs date from the period 1975 to 2002. Many are head shots or portrait studies of Harry Hay. Many
others depict Hay with his partner John Burnside (several during the last year of Hay's life); still others show Hay with
a range of friends. There are five photographs of Harry Hay at Radical Faeiries gatherings, possibly during the early to mid
1990s. Two sets of photographs from the latter end of the date span show Harry Hay at events (1997 and 2002) held in his honor.
Three photographs of New Mexico landscape taken by Harry Hay appear at the end of the collection.
Five photographs (folder 12) are among the items included in the inventory for the "William Moritz collection" section of
Series 5.
Arrangement note
For the most part, photographs are arranged in chronological order, with the exception of a large batch of negatives (folder
2, "Relatives, family, personal") that encompasses a wide span of years. Three photographs of the New Mexico landscape taken
by Harry Hay in 1977 appear at the end of the series.
