This collection contains materials collected by Maria Helena Dolan that document her work in LGBTQ+ and feminist organizations, her personal life, events she attended, her work at MARTA, as well her various other interests, including gardening, arts, and travel. Specific causes documented include AIDS awareness and safe sex, domestic violence, civil rights, and LGBTQ+ rights. Organizations represented include Atlanta History Center, Charis Books & More, Pride, ACLU, and Atlanta Lesbian and Gay History Thing, amongst others. Types of papers in this collection include correspondence, periodicals and articles, business records, and organization and event ephemera. Dolan saved drafts of articles she wrote for local publications, the bulk of which she submited to Southern Voice. Of note are agendas from the Cobb County Board of Commissioners when Cobb County was planning to hosts events for the 1996 Olympic Games. LGBTQ+ organizations that Dolan was involved with, including Cobb Citizens Coalition, fought to convince Olympic organizers not to hold events in the county in response to existing anti-LGBTQ+ legislation.
