Materials in the collection date from before the organization's founding to the present, with the majority of the material covering the years 1986 through 1992. The earliest records were maintained and created by Stephen Snell and George Greenia. The major issues covered include the founding of the organization, initial battles for recognition by the William and Mary Alumni Association, the fight to have sexual orientation added to the university's non-discrimination policy, and the suit to have anti-homosexual language removed from the state of Virginia's policies on liquor licensing. The records were collected by William and Mary GALA founder and first president Stephen Snell, Professor George Greenia, presidents Steve Murden, Wayne Curtis, Frank Edwards, and others. Included in the collection are fliers, correspondence, education materials, news clippings, and organizational papers. Due to the multiple creators associated with the collection, the same documents can be found in multiple series and folders within the collection.

Materials in the collection date from before the organization's founding to the present, with the majority of the material covering the years 1986 through 1992. The earliest records were maintained and created by Stephen Snell and George Greenia. The major issues covered include the founding of the organization, initial battles for recognition by the William and Mary Alumni Association, the fight to have sexual orientation added to the university's non-discrimination policy, and the suit to have anti-homosexual language removed from the state of Virginia's policies on liquor licensing. The records were collected by William and Mary GALA founder and first president Stephen Snell, Professor George Greenia, presidents Steve Murden, Wayne Curtis, Frank Edwards, and others. Included in the collection are fliers, correspondence, education materials, news clippings, and organizational papers. Due to the multiple creators associated with the collection, the same documents can be found in multiple series and folders within the collection. For instance, notices about events and correspondence may be found in a general chronological folder as well as a folder about a specific event or topic."," Oral history interviews conducted for the Stephens Project are available in the University Archives Oral History Collection. Memorabilia such as t-shirts, buttons, etc. are available in the University Archives Artifacts Collection. Current information about GALA, including some documents from 2001 to the present are available at GALA's website: http://wmgala.wordpress.com/.","This series includes both internal and external William \u0026 Mary GALA organizational correspondence organized by date. Within this series is much of the conversation that took place internally regarding major early issues facing GALA, from the College's non-discrimination policy to the fight for recognition among alumni groups. Correspondence ranges from form letters sent to association members to letters between board members and faculty liaison, George Greenia.","The news clippings primarily document GALA, GLBT issues, and the College of William and Mary.","Scope and Contents This series includes correspondence and other materials related to the Richard Cornish Fund established by W\u0026M GALA in 1992. The Cornish Fund was established to support the acquisition of books and other resources about gay and lesbian issues for the Earl Gregg Swem Library at the College of William and Mary.","This series consists of pamphlets, packets, letters, announcements, and memorabilia related to events organized by GALA. These events have primarily been held during the College's homecoming weekend.","These materials were produced by GALA and other groups to educate the public on issues relevant to the LGBT community.","Informational and advertising materials are the primary items found in this series.","The material in this series relates to College of William and Mary student and alumni groups as well as LGBTQ student groups on other university campuses. Researchers should note that some material, such as fliers, may be filed with multiple groups when an event or program was co-sponsored.
