AIDS Education Posters Collection - University of Rochester
The site showcases digital reproductions of the HIV/AIDS Education Posters collection, donated to the University of Rochester by Dr. Edward C. Atwater. Dr. Atwater, a visionary collector and medical historian, recognized the historical significance of these posters during the AIDS crisis and sought to preserve them for scholarly study. This extensive collection, comprising over 8000 posters and related materials, offers insights into the global impact of HIV/AIDS and spans over 130 countries and 75 languages. Following Dr. Atwater's passing in 2019, efforts to expand and enhance the collection continue, with the website also serving as a platform for student projects and user contributions to improve metadata and translations.
