Documenting the Stonewall Riots: A Bibliography of Primary Sources

This online resource is a research supplement to Marc Stein, The Stonewall Riots: A Documentary History (New York: New York University Press, 2019). It provides references for primary documents related to the materials reprinted in The Stonewall Riots; most of the sources come from newspapers, magazines, and newsletters. It is not comprehensive or complete; please send recommendations for additional primary sources by email to marcs@sfsu.edu.

There are multiple options for finding the documentary sources listed in the bibliographies. Some are only available in physical libraries and archives, but many have been digitized. Many mainstream and African American periodicals (magazines and newspapers) are available via Proquest Historical Newspapers, Newsbank, and Google Books. Many alternative, independent, and left periodicals are available via Independent Voices--Reveal Digital. For LGBT periodicals, see LGBT Life with Full Text (EBSCO), Archives of Sexuality and Gender (Gale), and the OutHistory website.
