Abstract: Minutes, bylaws, correspondence, manuscripts,
newsletters, financial records, legal papers, transcripts, pamphlets, flyers,
clippings, sound recordings, and other papers relating to the Mattachine
Society, brought together by the Mattachine Society Project from materials
donated to ONE Institute (now ONE International Gay & Lesbian Archives) by
Harold Call; from other collections held by ONE; and from collections in Jim
Kepner's International Gay & Lesbian Archives. Founded in Los Angeles in
1951 by actor and activist Harry Hay--who originally structured it as a secret
society, or "fraternal order"--the Mattachine Society was reorganized and
incorporated in California in 1954, and established "area councils" and
chapters around the United States. Its activities included group discussions,
research, annual conventions and the periodical,
Mattachine Review. Financial and
organizational conflicts, however, led to the dissolution of the national
organization in 1961. Although several chapters-- including Los Angeles, San
Francisco, New York, and Washington, D.C.--continued as independent
organizations, most of these had ceased operations by the mid-1970s. Materials
in the collection date from the earliest days of the organization to the
creation of the Mattachine Society Project in 1990.

Administrative History
The Mattachine Society traces its roots to Los Angeles in the late
1940s, when Harry Hay--a married man and actor who also taught music at the
University of Southern California--began formulating his idea for a homophile
organization, which he initially named the "International Bachelors Fraternal
Orders for Peace and Social Dignity." Beginning in 1951, groups of homosexual
men and women began meeting secretly at various locations throughout Los
Angeles to discuss issues relevant to the homosexual community. At Hay's
suggestion, this organization took the name "Mattachine Foundation"--after
traveling performers in medieval Europe who staged satires wearing
masks--because contemporary American homosexuals were also forced to hide
behind masks. Hay had been active in the Communist Party, and many of the
Foundation's founders, including Rudi Gernreich, Bob Hull and Chuck Rowland,
shared Hay's leftist politics. The Foundation, or "fraternal order," was
organized along the lines of the secretive, cell-like structure of the
Communist Party, which also needed to protect the identities of its members.
Hay also took from Marxism the idea that for homosexuals to end their
oppression they must develop a group consciousness as an oppressed class.
Between 1951 and early 1953, membership in the Mattachine Foundation
expanded rapidly in Southern California and the San Francisco Bay area.
However, in March 1953 a journalist, who had received a Foundation mailing,
published an article suggesting that the Foundation, with its secretive
leadership, might be a Communist front organization. The reaction of the
Foundation's membership exposed a growing schism between Hay and his leftist
allies, who wished to continue with the secretive "fraternal order" focused on
developing self-understanding and social consciousness; and those, led by Ken
Burns and Harold Call, who sought a more "public" organization focused on
assimilating the homosexual community into mainstream society.
In two conventions in April and May 1953--in a climate of suspicions
about financial improprieties, personal misrepresentations, communist
infiltration and the aims of the organization--the membership elected a new
slate of leaders, replacing Hay and his followers with Call and his party. The
new leaders in turn officially dissolved the Mattachine Foundation with its
secretive structure and recognized the establishment of the Mattachine Society
with a national, "open" structure. Officially incorporated in California in
March 1954, the reorganized Mattachine Society had its headquarters in San
Francisco, with "area councils" and chapters throughout the United States.
During its most active period in the late 1950s, the Society's activities
included group discussions, social and psychological research in relation to
sexuality, research in legal cases and legislation regarding sexual equality,
annual conventions and the publication of the
Mattachine Review and various
newsletters.
In the face of financial troubles, languishing membership, and
dissatisfaction among local chapters, the Board of Directors decided to
dissolve the Society's national structure in 1961. The national chapters
subsequently reorganized into independent organizations. The former San
Francisco Area Council continued under Call's leadership, and by 1960 it had
become less a membership group and more of an education and social service
organization, which all but ceased operation in 1967. The Mattachine Society of
Washington, D.C., became the most active and committed to political change of
the former chapters. Its leader, Franklin Kameny, challenged the discriminatory
policies of the U.S. Civil Service and was instrumental in the campaign to
change the American Psychological Association definition of homosexuality as an
illness. The Mattachine Society of New York played an activist role in the gay
liberation movement of the 1970s. The Philadelphia chapter evolved into the
Janus Society. By the end of the 1960s, most of the Mattachine organizations
had ended their operations, while only a few--including Chicago, Florida, and
New York--continued to operate until the 1980s.

Separated Material
Between 1987 and 2005, ONE Institute and its successors received from
Harold Call and his estate a series of donations that included Mattachine
Society records and Call's personal papers. In 1990, these materials were
combined with Mattachine Society materials taken from other collections held by
ONE Institute, as well as from collections in Jim Kepner's International Gay
& Lesbian Archives to create the "Mattachine Society Project." In May 2008,
this collection was divided: the Mattachine Society materials forming the
Mattachine Society Project Collection (this collection), and Call's personal,
family and business papers forming the Harold L. Call Papers
(Coll2008-010).
