BIOGRAPHY

Harvey Bernard Milk was born on May 22,1930, in Woodmere, New York. His parents were Minerva Karns and William Milk. His older brother was Robert Milk. Harvey graduated from the New York State Teachers College at Albany in 1951. He was in the U.S. Navy until 1955. He then worked briefly in New York on and eventually became involved with the Tom O’Horgan shows and Christ Superstar. He moved out to San Francisco in the early .

Harvey’s political aspirations began with his unsuccessful campaigns for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1973 and 1975. Mayor appointed Milk to the city’s Board of Permit Appeals in 1976 though he had to resign from that position in the same year when he announced his candidacy for the State Assembly. He lost the Assembly race as well. He was elected to the Board of Supervisors in November 1977. On January 9, 1978, Milk was sworn into office.

While in office, he cosponsored a gay rights ordinance, and was interested in the creation of a gay community center. His Supervisor issue files cover a wide variety of topics from the (Proposition 6) and divestment from South Africa to San Francisco parking facilities and the much-publicized Dog Litter law. Milk’s life was cut short when assassinated him on , 1978.

There are several biographical works about Milk. Most notable is The Mayor of Castro Street by . The documentary by Robert Epstein and Richard Schmeichen is also an excellent resource. Double Play by Mike Weiss recounts the killings of Milk and Moscone and includes transcripts of police documents. All of these books and videotapes are available in the San Francisco Public Library. The archival research for Double Play is also available at the San Francisco History Center of the San Francisco Public Library.

SCOPE AND CONTENT

The collection is a mixture of the personal papers of Harvey Milk and Scott Smith, the political papers of Harvey Milk, and the collection of the Harvey Milk Archives and Harvey Milk Estate. As Smith was the head of the Milk Archives and also Milk’s executor, the latter materials have been organized into one series. The political papers and photographs series are the best documented portions of the collection. The political papers include drafts of speeches and writings, as well as the flyers and other ephemera which a campaign produces. There is unfortunately not much on Milk’s early life though there are a few documents on his mother. With the exception of the photographs, the bulk of the collection documents Milk’s life on the West Coast.

ARRANGEMENT NOTE

The material is been arranged into six series: Harvey Milk’s personal papers, Harvey Milk’s political papers, Scott Smith’s personal papers, materials relating to the Harvey Milk Archives and his estate, photographic materials, and clippings and ephemera. Most series are arranged alphabetically by folder title, and materials are filed chronologically within each folder; the photographic series is organized by slide program when possible, and by folder title in all other cases.
