archive - Adam's Word newsletter (October 1989)

This is a new feature of feature.  It contains features culled from Digital Transgender Archive, a Boston-based archive.  It is NOT strictly Boston-based, however - it is worldwide.  I'm starting off in Connecticut (my home state)  then move to various other states.  To a lesser extent, worldwide ephemera will be covered also.  It is my hope that, as time goes on, you and I will gain a deeper experience of transgender life.
