Soc. for Crawford Barton papers, 1945-1995 (Crawford Wayne Barton was born on June 2, 1943 in rural Georgia. As a child and teenager Barton took piano lessons and enjoyed drawing and studying nature. After graduating from Calhoun High School in 1961, Barton attended the Univ. of Georgia on an art scholarship. Barton studied drawing painting and sculpture at three different colleges in Georgia as an art major, but never graduated. Late in 1968 Barton decided to move to Los Angeles, CA to study filmmaking at UCLA. However, Barton never enrolled and instead moved to San Francisco. It was in San Francisco that Barton became a leading photographer of gay life. Barton took photographs for the Advocate, the Bay Area Reporter, the San Francisco Examiner, Newsday, and the Los Angeles Times. Barton's prints were also used to illustrate Look Back in Joy (1990) by Malcom Boyd; died June 12, 1993)
