Yearbook for Sexual Intermediate Levels
The yearbook for sexual intermediate stages was an annual publication of the Scientific-Humanitarian Committee under the direction of Magnus Hirschfeld . It appeared regularly from 1899 to 1923 in 23 volumes. The periodical is one of the most important sources of early sexual sciences in Germany and offered space for an interdisciplinary discourse. Many well-known authors of the time published v. a. scientific contributions on homosexuality , intersexuality and transgender topics. The complete work comprised a total of more than 11,000 pages.
