For this year's World AIDS Day the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine archives will be hosting two events on the 2nd December 2013.
World AIDS Day: Global Visions
Monday 2rd December, 6pm-7pm, Manson Lecture
Theatre, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Keppel Street, London, WC1E 7HT
Evening seminar presenting the HIV/AIDS poster collections
held by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine archive and the
Wellcome Library. The Wellcome Library
holds one of the world’s largest digitised AIDS poster collections, with over
3000 posters. The LSHTM archives holds sizable collection of its own along with
collected campaign ephemera and collected papers. Through the combined archives
we shall explore changing attitudes to the disease and the dramatically
contrasting cultural attitudes to sex from across the globe.
This joint event organised by the
Wellcome Library and the LSHTM Archive will explore the digital and physical
poster series of both collections and explore the key themes and contexts of
these poster collections through our speakers, Professor Kay Wellings, Professor
of Sexual & Reproductive Health Research at LSHTM and donor of the LSHTM
poster collection and Julia Nurse, Content Officer at the Wellcome Library and
cataloguer of the Wellcome AIDS poster collection.
This event is free though booking is required. http://www.wellcomecollection.org/whats-on/events/world-aids-day-global-visions.aspx
