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>
