Fliers, advertisements, brochures and pamphlets related to these groups are also held with the newsletters. Some material related to non-DC groups and activities are also present and were most likely sent to people at the Center from contacts outside the city. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This newsletter collection was created originally by the Gay Community Center of Washington, DC, during the 1980s, when it created a Gay and Lesbian Archives Project. After the Center closed, these materials were part of the Eaton-Kesinger Research Service, which transferred them to the Rainbow History Project, in December 2013. Exemplary issues from the collection are scanned and presented online; all original materials are available as "MS 0764 RHP, Series X" at the DC History Center.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTSAQmDeO6UOSC01t4xQ4S1poenQWwCL5E7k5rWoMGWBKCekUQiqu8q85AgEmPHd9j37MPrkImQ5gZD/pub" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;VIEW ONLINE FINDING AID&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</text>

              <text>Newsletter for the national group about lesbian's experiences and opinions about considering children, creating a family, blending families, childrearing, and other issues of significance to lesbian mothers and their families.&#13;
&#13;
Missions statement:  Momazons is a national organization for lesbian mothers and for lesbians who want children in their lives. We provide an opportunity for lesbians and our friends to explore options in bearing, adopting, raising or being involved with children. Momazons facilitates connections between lesbian mothers seeking camaraderie, information and support. We encourage discussions about the impact of our families on our communities. We support the diversity in the lesbian mothering community and are working to create a group that includes the many different ways lesbians choose and have chosen to include children in our lives. </text>
