Gay Marriage-DOMA & Gay Marriage Issues
Scope and Contents
Files from the top-level of Human Rights Campaign (Fund) administration, including files of executive directors, presidents, and Boards, and files relating to membership, fundraising, and planning, including plans for HRC's office building. Currently, there is no separate subseries for founding documents. Articles of incorporation, bylaws and their revisions, and other key records relating to the founding and development of HRC(F) as an organization can be found in the Education Department's 20th Year History Project files (Series VII). Files regarding various mergers with other organizations are also found primarily in the 20th Year History Project files.
Note that most of the official records of the HRC(F) Board of Directors, Board of Governors, and Human Rights Campaign Foundation Board have not yet been transferred to the archives, and the use of Board and Executive Director files is currently restricted.
