Annual of Sexual Intermediaries
The Annual of Sexual Intermediaries (Jahrbuch für sexuelle Zwischenstufen) was a periodical of the Scientific-Humanitarian Committee (German: Wissenschaftlich-humanitäres Komitee, WhK), the world's first LGBT rights organization founded by German sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld in 1897. The annual publication featured articles on scientific, literary, and political topics related to sexual and gender minorities. It was published regularly from 1899 to 1923 (sometimes quarterly) in 23 volumes.[1][2] The complete work comprised a total of more than 11,000 pages.
Since 2023, Michael Lombardi-Nash, who lives in Jacksonville, Florida, has been translating the “Annuals of Sexual Intermediaries” from German into English and publishing them under the title “Urania Manuscripts.”[3]
