Kewpie Photographs

Kewpie was part of a community of queer people who were known amongst themselves and by the wider community in Cape Town as 'moffies.' These photographs document Kewpie and her friends' lives between 1950 and 1993. The collection includes pictures of Kewpie working in salons as a hairdresser, attending parties and costume balls, and walking around Cape Town with her friends and her partner, Brian.

Metamorphosis

The newsletters and periodicals in the Metamorphosis collection were published by the Metamorphosis Medical Research Foundation and Rupert Raj from 1982 to 1988. These publications, which were intended as resources for female-to-male transsexuals, discuss the issues of gender dysphoria, gender realignment surgery, and community acceptance. Metamorphosis provided the trans community with resources, personal stories, book and film reviews, and bulletins of important events and medical research pertaining to the trans community.

Oral Histories with People of Color

The Oral Histories with People of Color collection highlights diverse stories told throughout the many oral history collections found on the DTA. Every person in this collection has self-identified as a member of a racial or ethnic minority group. We understand that these stories have been underrepresented in trans history and hope to call particular attention to the intersection of trans experiences with racial and ethnic identities here.

Lou Sullivan Collection

The Lou Sullivan Collection includes letters between Sullivan and various medical professionals, colleagues, and friends. Some correspondents include Rupert Raj, Ben Power, Alyn Hess, Dr. Michael Brownstein, and Dr. Paul Walker. Lou Sullivan was known for identifying as an openly gay trans man and fighting for the medical and social rights of those who identified similarly. These letters, dated from 1973 to 1991, detail Lou's medical transition, FTM publications, and his struggle with AIDS.

Postcards of Female and Male Impersonators and Cross-dressing

This collection of postcards of female and male impersonators and cross-dressing in Europe and the United States, 1900-1931, 1955 features copies of original postcards held by Cornell’s Human Sexuality Collection, part of Cornell Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections.
