Description

Over three hundred pages of documents related to the FBI's internal security investigation of the Mattachine Society in Los Angeles between 1953 and 1956. Much of the files' contents reflect correspondence between bureau officials in regards to concerns about the publication of "One: The Homosexual Magazine," as well as other Mattachine Society activities in both California and the Washington, D.C. area.
