Collection
Juma, 1942-

It is the largest known collection of performances from the loft era in New York City, a significant but under-documented period of jazz history. The recordings collection of ca. 430 items, spanning the period from 1965-1975 (on open reel and cassette) contains unique, unreleased concert recordings, with the exception of a small amount of the collection included in the much-praised box set of Aboriginal Music Society recordings, Father of Origin (Eremite records produced in 2011). The recordings document not only the music of Sultan's own groups, such as the Aboriginal Music Society, but also a wide variety of recordings of other bands at Studio We, at other loft spaces in Lower Manhattan (e.g., Studio Rivbea, Artist House, the Ladies Fort, and Ali's Alley), as well as in Woodstock. In addition, the collection includes paper documentation which is contained in 256 containers, with over 2,800 individual items, including ca. 160 individual photographic prints and 44 contact sheets. Further documentation includes a timeline and calendar with detailed information on performers, repertory, performance locations, etc.

Chauncey, George

The George Chauncey papers include materials documenting Chauncey's research and activism related to LGBTQ+ history and activism. The collection reflects Chauncey's teaching, public speaking, and writing, including notes and other files related to his groundbreaking book, Gay New York: Gender, Urban Culture, and the Making of the Gay Male World, 1890-1940. The collection also includes all the proposals submitted for a conference Chauncey organized in 2000, The Future of the Queer Past, (ultimately 200 papers, 50 panels, people from a dozen countries, funding from the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations), which provides a fascinating snapshot of the LGBTQ+ history field as it was just beginning to take off.
