Summary:

Francine Logandice was an entrepreneur who owned a resort on the Russian River and a number of successful bars in San Francisco -- the 222 Club on Hyde, the Black Rose, The Depot in the Outer Mission, Francine's, Elaine's, Déjà Vu and Café San Marcos. Logandice was born in New Jersey in 1928, joined the merchant marine at age 14 during World War II, and relocated to California in the mid-1960s before gender transitioning in 1969. Logandice was a prolific collector of transgender-related materials, compiling them into a document she called the Bibliography of Impersonation, Transvestism and Transexualism. She also wrote about and lectured on the topic of transgender identity. The collection contains correspondence, books, book lists, notes, and research related to her passion project, the Bibliography of Impersonation, Transvestism and Transexualism. Historian and sexologist Vern Bullough called Logandice's work "a labor of love and devotion" and recommended it as a scholarly resource. The majority of the collection is comprised of books listed in Logandice's bibliography; publications and periodicals related to transgender and S&M communities; subject files; ephemera; scrapbooks; news clippings; and photographs. Logandice has identified many of the people in the photos. The collection also contains a small amount of financial records related to the businesses Logandice owned. Many periodicals in Logandice's collection are also in the GLBT Historical Society's Periodical Collection, including Drag: A Magazine about the Transvestite; Female Mimics; Female Mimics International; GenderFlex; Gender Review (Foundation for the Advancement of Canadian Transsexuals); He-She; Our Sorority; Phoenix Monthly/International; Skin Two; and TV Clipsheet.
