Materials in this collection date from 1984 to 2003 and include newsletters, meeting minutes, event planning notes, financial documents, event flyers, event t-shirts, newspaper clippings, VHS tapes, and correspondence between Tobin members of the Whitman and Walla Walla community. Materials in this collection were generated through Tobin’s work as the faculty advisor to Whitman’s LGBTQ groups such as the Gay Lesbian Association (GLA) and Coalition Against Homophobia, and relate to his being an openly gay professor at the college. There are also materials relating to a homophobic phone call made to Tobin, which reflect the nature of the environment Tobin and the local LGBTQ community were facing at the time. This collection documents LGBTQ activism and student organizations from the 1990s and early 2000s at Whitman College from a community leader and student advisor perspective and is useful to researchers interested in grassroots LGBTQ organizations.
