Armistead Maupin Archive
The complete literary archive of Armistead Maupin, novelist, activist, and essential chronicler and voice of queer life in San Francisco. Maupin’s literary career is captured through substantive drafts of manuscripts, including his Tales of the City novels, his roman à clef works, and adaptations of his work for television and film, along with notebooks, correspondence, audio/visual media, clippings, working files, and digital files. The collection documents the reception of Maupin's work—born from and depicting San Francisco queer culture—in America at large during decades that marked growing visibility for the LGBTQ+ community.
