Gay and lesbian studies

The bulk of the Harriet M. Johnson Papers were created by Johnson in the course of her professional life, in the early twentieth century. Much of the materials concern her establishing and administering to the Nursery School of the Bureau of Educational Experiments. Her work was collected in observational notes, reports, speeches, correspondence, publications, and other formats.

The collection of Elaine Wickens photography and other materials were largely created during Wickens’ professional life, in the mid to late twentieth century. The materials span her professional endeavors at Bank Street College; from her research of gay and lesbian progress in education to her extensive use of photography as a documentary and teaching medium. Her work was collected in notes, memoranda, photographic prints, slides and negatives, audiovisual materials, and other formats.
