Collection of International AIDS Posters Available
Online
The UCLA Library launched an online collection of more
than 600 AIDS
posters from countries around the world on Friday,
December 1, 2006 at
http://digital.library.ucla.edu/aidsposters. The
release of this digital
project has been scheduled in conjunction with World
AIDS Day.
"The collection provides a fascinating insight into
the many approaches
that have been used to try to modify risk behaviors,"
said Roger Detels,
MD, MS, UCLA professor of epidemiology and infectious
diseases. "The
posters range from terrifying to amusing and reflect
the many cultures
from which they have been drawn, which include
national cultures and
risk group cultures. The collection should be of
interest to anyone
interested in the history of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and
attempts to
control it."
The physical collection is held in the Louise M.
Darling Biomedical
Library History and Special Collections. For more
