Sex & Sexuality: Material from the Kinsey Institute Library

Sex & Sexuality is a collection of primary source materials which explore changing attitudes towards human sexuality, gender identities and sexual behaviors throughout the twentieth century. This unique collaboration with the Kinsey Institute Library and Special Collections presents correspondence, research papers and records spanning the tenures of the first three Institute directors; Dr Alfred C. Kinsey (1947-1956), Dr Paul H. Gebhard (1956-1982) and Dr June Reinisch (1982-1993).

Subcollections include the correspondence of the directors and other sexologists associated with the Kinsey Institute, annual reports and administrative records of the Kinsey Institute and the Society for the Scientific Study of Sex, a run of the Kinsey Report newspaper column and research and correspondence related to it.  Also included are questionnaires, surveys, statistical summaries and research reports about human sexuality that reflect early efforts to consider it scientifically.
