In 1977, Alan Bell, a black gay publisher, began publishing Gaysweek, the first gay and lesbian newspaper in the US. It started as an 8-page weekly tabloid, and when it ended in 1979 after 104 issues, it was a 24-page, two-color publication.
At the time, it was one of only three gay weeklies in the world.
A portion of the Gaysweek archives are kept at Cornell University Library, Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections.
