A separate subcollection, Historical Attitudes and Analysis, presents books, pamphlets, reports, and more from the 18th century through the mid-20th century. Content in this subcollection includes accounts of individuals criminally tried for their sexuality to attempts to find a medical cause for homosexuality."  This collection also includes "a curated list of Scholarly Articles selected by Hein editors, as well as a Bibliography."
