Ira L. Reiss Collection
The materials in this collection are about Ira L. Reiss, a sociologist specializing in the study of human sexuality. Reiss was born in New York City on December 8, 1925. He served in WW2 and then earned his Ph.D. from The Pennsylvania State University in 1953. He taught at Bowdoin College, William and Mary College, Bard College, and the University of Iowa and then in 1969 he came to the University of Minnesota, Sociology Department and stayed there until his retirement in 1996. At the University of Minnesota Reiss also served as the director of the university’s Family Study Center. He is the author of 14 books and four monographs published from 1960 to 2006, including such titles as An Insider’s View of Sexual Science Since Kinsey, Premarital Sexual Standards in America, The Social Context of Premarital Sexual Permissiveness, Journey Into Sexuality: An Exploratory Voyage, and Solving America's Sexual Crisis. The Reiss Collection includes seven loose leaf binders containing reviews of all his books, his major talks, key letters, codebooks for his national sample, his vita, and discussions he had on Sexnet. There are also five hardbound volumes that Reiss prepared for his published papers, favorite publications, unpublished work and a 1955 rough draft of his 1960 book. The collection includes publications that occurred after these volumes were prepared. Also included are Reiss’s dissertation, the data for his 1963 national sample which researched premarital sexual permissiveness attitudes, and a unique collection of 49 CDs and 36 DVDs of his professional talks and media presentations dating from 1960-2006. These audio/video discs contain appearances covering a myriad of topics from Reiss’s publications on premarital, extramarital, cross cultural, HIV/AIDS, sexual ethics, and many other of his sexual science research and theory works addressed from a sociological perspective. So far, Reiss’s total collection spans an impressive 57 years, from 1953 to 2010 and Reiss will soon be adding new material. See also Ira L. Reiss Collection Finding Aid (PDF) Ira L.
