The materials in the Twice Blessed Collections comprise one of sixteen collections of records from the ONE National Gay and Lesbian Archives, the world's largest repository of LGBTQ materials. These files document the lives of LGBTQ individuals from 1940 to 2012, the organizations they founded, the discrimination they faced, and the devastation of the AIDS crisis. Most of the items concern individuals or groups from California. Twice Blessed documents the Jewish lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender experience, circa 1966-2000, via materials collected by the Jewish Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Archives, founded and operated by Johnny Abush. Researchers will find clippings from print and online sources, conference and event materials, newsletters, religious service texts, promotional materials, videotapes, photographs, drawings, memorabilia, reference materials, and administration files. Of particular interest are items related to the Faces Project, which catalogs clippings of those in the Jewish LGBT community who have had their picture appear in print. These records are vital for anyone researching the many facets of LGBTQ life in California and the United States in the second half of the twentieth century.
