 SUMMARY

Title: Stephen Donaldson Papers, 1965-1996

Size: 11 linear feet (23 boxes)

Restrictions: None.

Source: Gift of the estate of Stephen Donaldson (via Rick Shur and Judith Jones), 1997.

Biographical Note: Writer and activist Stephen Donaldson was born Robert A. Martin,
Jr. on July 27, 1946. He attended Columbia University (B.A. 1970) where he founded the
Student Homophile League and was active in the North American Conference of
Homophile Organizations. During his undergraduate summers he worked as a reporter for
the Associated Press and Virginia Pilot, and as an intern in the offices of two U.S.
Congressmen. In 1970 Donaldson enlisted in the U.S. Navy, but was released by General
Discharge two years later on grounds of suspected homosexual involvement. His
unprecedented public campaign against the discharge failed, though he eventually won an
upgrade to Honorable Discharge. From 1972-77 Donaldson was involved with the
Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), and led the group's bisexual caucus. In 1973 he
was arrested at a Quaker peace protest at the White House, and was sexually assaulted by
inmates in the Washington D.C. jail. This experience led to his activism on the issue of
male sexual victimization, most notably with the organization Stop Prisoner Rape. During
the 1980s-90s Donaldson wrote (often under the pseudonym "Donny the Punk") for
magazines and underground publications on such topics as punk rock, prison conditions,
religion and sexuality. He was assistant editor of the Encyclopedia of Homosexuality
(1990) and editor-in-chief of an unpublished revision of that work. Stephen Donaldson
died in New York City on July 18, 1996.

Description: The Stephen Donaldson Papers document the varied career and tumultuous
personal history of the writer and activist. The date span of the papers is 1965-1996. They
include manuscripts, typescripts, and publication tearsheets of Donaldson's writings,
editorial and administrative papers for the unpublished Concise Encyclopedia of
Homosexuality, personal and professional correspondence, news clippings and printed
material, photographs, audiotapes and a few items of clothing and ephemera. The Stephen
Donaldson Papers are an important resource for the study of gay and bisexual activism,
prisoners and prison life and counter-cultural movements from the 1960s-90s.

 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

Writer and activist Stephen Donaldson was born Robert A. Martin, Jr. on July 27, 1946 in
Norfolk, Virginia. The son of a career naval officer, his childhood was spent in numerous
seaport cities of the eastern United States, as well as in Germany. His parents divorced
when he was seven years old, and he lived for periods of time in a boarding school and
with his grandparents. While attending high school in Long Branch, New Jersey,
Donaldson acknowledged his sexual attraction to a male classmate and shortly afterwards
decided to "come out" as gay. In the summer of 1965 he ran away from his mother's home
in Florida to New York City, where he met leaders of the Mattachine Society of New
York, an early gay rights organization. Attracted by the relatively permissive sexual
atmosphere of New York, he enrolled at Columbia University.

As a college student, Donaldson was a founding member of the Student Homophile

League (later re-named Gay People at Columbia-Barnard) and was active in the North
American Conference of Homophile Organizations. He was a participant in the spring
1968 student uprising on the Columbia campus. Donaldson worked during his college
summers as a reporter for the Associated Press and Virginia Pilot and as a legislative
intern in the offices of U.S. Representatives Howard H. Callaway (Republican, Georgia)
and Donald E. Lukens (Republican, Ohio). He also traveled widely across the United
States, often as a hitchhiker. In diary entries and letters written during these years he
described his political radicalization, his experiments with marijuana and LSD and his
sexual encounters with men and women. Inspired by many aspects of the sexual
revolution of the late-1960s, Donaldson increasingly identified himself as bisexual. He
began to publish short articles and poems in gay publications, occasionally under the pen
name Stephen Donaldson. (Though he never legally changed his name, he increasingly
chose to identify himself by this pseudonym, particularly during the 1980s-90s.)

After his 1970 graduation from Columbia, Donaldson enlisted in the U.S. Navy. He
shipped to Italy, where he served as a radioman on a NATO base. At this time Donaldson
also became a practicing Buddhist and explored the religious traditions of the Society of
Friends, also known as Quakers. In 1971 the Navy announced its intention to release him
by General Discharge on grounds of suspected homosexual involvement. Donaldson
mounted an unprecedented public campaign against his discharge, and won the support of
U.S. Congress members Bella Abzug and Edward I. Koch. Though he lost this fight and
was released in June 1972, he later won an upgrade to Honorable Discharge.

Donaldson settled in the Washington D.C. area and worked as Pentagon correspondent
for the Overseas Weekly, a privately owned newspaper distributed to American
servicemen stationed in Europe. He became increasingly active with the Quakers, and
would eventually lead the group's bisexual caucus. In 1973 he was arrested at a Quaker
peace protest at the White House, and was subsequently raped by inmates in the
Washington D.C. jail. This experience, and incidents which occurred during later stints in
prison, led to his outspoken activism on the issue of sexual victimization of male

4
prisoners, most notably with the organizations People Organized to Stop the Rape of
Imprisoned Persons and Stop Prisoner Rape.

From 1974-77 Donaldson did graduate work in religion at Columbia University, and
served as Chairman of the Student Governing Board of the Earl Hall Center for Religion
and Life. In May 1976 he was ordained as a novice monk in the orthodox (Theravada)
Buddhist Order. During the late-1970s Donaldson worked intermittently as a developer of
war simulation games and immersed himself in New York's punk rock subculture,
centered on the CBGB nightclub in downtown Manhattan. Several personal tragedies,
including the 1976 suicide of his mother, contributed to bouts of psychological
depression. In March 1980, poverty-stricken and ill, Donaldson was arrested in a Bronx
Veterans Administration hospital on a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon. He
was convicted on other felony counts and served nearly four years in federal prison.
Donaldson was paroled in April 1984, and settled again in New York City.

During the 1980s-90s, Donaldson volunteered as a counselor to male victims of sexual

assault, and spoke out publicly in a wide variety of forums on the issue of prisoner rape.
In 1987-88 he visited India and was there initiated in the Veerashaiva tradition of Shaivite
Hinduism. This trip constituted a parole violation, and resulted in another term in federal
prison during 1990. In 1992 Donaldson visited Europe to meet punk rock musicians and
fans and to lecture on the American punk scene. Throughout this period he advanced his
career as an editor and writer. His short essays on such topics as punk rock, prison
conditions, Buddhism and sexuality appeared in numerous magazines and underground
publications, often under the byline "Donny the Punk." Donaldson was assistant editor of
the Encyclopedia of Homosexuality (1990) and co-editor, with Wayne Dynes, of the
thirteen-volume Studies in Homosexuality (1994). During his last years he served as
editor-in-chief of the Concise Encyclopedia of Homosexuality, a major revision of the
1990 Encyclopedia. His publisher cancelled the project just a few months after the
manuscript was completed. Stephen Donaldson died of an AIDS-related illness in New
York City on July 18, 1996.

 SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

The Stephen Donaldson Papers document the varied career and turbulent personal history
of the writer and activist. The date span of the papers is 1965-1996. They include
manuscripts, typescripts, and publication tearsheets of Donaldson's writings, editorial and
administrative papers for the unpublished Concise Encyclopedia of Homosexuality,
personal and professional correspondence, news clippings and printed material, visual
materials, audiotapes, and a few items of clothing and ephemera. The Stephen Donaldson
Papers are an important resource for the study of gay and bisexual activism, prisoners and
prison life and American counter-cultural movements from the 1960s-90s. Donaldson's
correspondence and writings provide a fascinating view of the 1968 student uprising at
Columbia University, the origins of the gay student movement, the sexual revolution of
the late-1960s and drug use within the youth subculture of that period. Also documented
from a first-hand perspective is Donaldson's ground-breaking fight against his General
Discharge from the U.S. Navy for suspected homosexual involvement. Donaldson's
letters regarding the case are complemented by news clippings, press releases and copies
of Navy records. The papers also contain much information on Donaldson's wide-ranging
interests, including Indian religions, the history of sexuality, gay and bisexual activism,
prison conditions and the sexual victimization of male prisoners, punk rock music and the
punk subculture. Visual materials include photoprints, photocopies, negatives and
drawings of Stephen Donaldson, scenes from his travels, his friends and colleagues and
various punk rock performances. Audiotape cassettes contain interviews and lectures by
Stephen Donaldson and others on the topics of male sexual victimization and prisoner
rape, bisexual activism and punk rock.

 SERIES DESCRIPTIONS

I - CORRESPONDENCE, 1965-1996, 2.35 linear feet (Boxes 1-6)

Stephen Donaldson's correspondence files contain incoming and outgoing letters and
postcards which document many aspects of his career as author, editor and activist, as
well as his turbulent personal history. The files are arranged alphabetically by the name of
the correspondent, organization or subject. Numerous correspondents are identified only
by first name, by a nickname or by initials. Donaldson's strong autobiographical impulse
led him to make and preserve carbon copies of many of the letters that he wrote over the
years. Many of his carbons were made on the backs of mimeographed documents of
organizations with which Donaldson was involved (such as the Student Homophile
League), and thus have an additional evidentiary value. This series includes important
items from Donaldson's formative years as a student at Columbia University, such as his
letters to friends regarding the 1968 student uprising at Columbia, the origins of the
Student Homophile League, his cross-country hitchhiking trips, his experimentation with
drugs, his romantic attachments and his sexual encounters. This early material is
complemented by Donaldson's 1960s-70s correspondence with his mother, Lois Vaughan,
which provides insights on his troubled family history. There is also extensive
correspondence with lawyers, editors, politicians and friends regarding Donaldson's fight
against his 1972 discharge from the U.S. Navy. Several folders which contain only letters
related to this case are marked "re: Navy discharge" in the container list. There is
additional legal correspondence regarding Donaldson's 1980 arrest and felony conviction
and his subsequent terms in prison from 1980-84 and 1990. During the early 1980s
Donaldson typed, photocopied and mailed to multiple recipients what he called "round
letters." These documents, contained in Box 1, Folder 25, provide a remarkable view of
Donaldson's daily life in prison, his sexual encounters with fellow inmates, his interest in
punk rock and his experiences in New York City after his parole. The round letters are
complemented by correspondence with various publishers and editors regarding essays
and poems written by Donaldson while he was in prison and shortly thereafter. During the
late 1980s-90s, Donaldson's music reviews won him some renown among punk rock fans,
and the circle of his correspondence widened to include dozens of punks from around the
world. Many of these letters are contained in the "Miscellaneous" folders located in Box
4, Folders 4-6.

7
II - WRITINGS, 1966-1995, 1 linear foot (Boxes 7-9)
The writings of Stephen Donaldson include manuscript and typescript diaries,
manuscripts, typescripts and tearsheets of published and unpublished essays and poems,
news articles written for the Associated Press, Virginia Pilot and Overseas Weekly and a
some unidentified notes and fragments. The material is arranged alphabetically by the title
of the work, when known. A few folders contain correspondence, news clippings and
printed material gathered by Donaldson in the course of his research for the project
concerned. There are also a few items of promotional material issued in connection with
various writings. Donaldson's college years are particularly well-documented by such
items as a diary kept during 1966-1968 (Box 7, Folder 18), class notes and papers (Box 7,
Folders 14 and 23) and an article on gay student life which appeared in the Columbia
Daily Spectator (Box 7, Folder 3). Also of interest from this period are typescripts of
Donaldson's Student Homophile League news columns (Box 9, Folder 14) written for the
newspaper Gay Power. Writings from later in Donaldson's life include typescripts and
publication tearsheets of many "Donny the Punk" articles on music, sexuality and
religion, and his essays on the sexual victimization of male prisoners. Finally, there are
examples of Donaldson's scholarly writing in the fields of gay and bisexual history, such
as an essay written in collaboration with Wayne Dynes (Box 7, Folder 30).

III - CONCISE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF HOMOSEXUALITY, 1990-1996, 2.5 linear

feet (Boxes 10-15)
This series documents Donaldson's extensive editorial work on a revised edition of the
1990 Encyclopedia of Homosexuality. Included are correspondence with authors and
publishers, promotional materials, administrative records, publishing contracts, typescript
drafts of encyclopedia entries, and a complete draft of the final typescript of the book,
which was never published. Also included are eleven 3 1/2" and ten 5 1/4" computer
disks containing electronic versions of Concise Encyclopedia entries. This material
appears to duplicate the final typescript version of the Concise Encyclopedia contained in
Boxes 12-14. Electronic files on the 3 1/2" disks were successfully opened using plain
text editing software in September 2000.

IV - SUBJECT FILES, 1965-1996, 1.65 linear feet (Boxes 16-19)

Materials in this alphabetically arranged series document Stephen Donaldson's varied
research interests, his educational and professional activities and his troubled legal
history. Included are college records such as transcripts and a diploma, printed materials
issued by various organizations of which Donaldson was a member, information on
various businesses and publications for which he worked, as well as news clippings and
notes on numerous research topics. Also included in this series are a copy of Donaldson's
FBI file (in which he is identified by his legal name, Robert A. Martin, Jr.) obtained by
him through a Freedom of Information Act request, legal records and press releases
related to his 1972 discharge by the U.S. Navy, and legal records regarding his several
later arrests and terms in prison.

decorated with slogans and drawings which document his penchant for frank public
declarations regarding his sexuality. Also included are a poster advertising a 1973 speech
by Donaldson about his experience in the Washington D.C. jail, an award plaque from the
Veerashaiva Samaja of North America's 15th Annual Convention, and a small pendant
commemorating the U.S.S. Courtney.

9
VII - AUDIOTAPES, 1982-1988 and n.d., .5 linear feet (Box 23)

panel discussion of adolescent sexuality featuring several unidentified speakers.
The original cassettes contained in Box 23 are unavailable for research use for
preservation reasons. Service copy duplicates of the original tapes have been made and
