Posters and Banners

This series contains a wide variety of publicity-related material, such as press releases and newspaper clippings documenting the AIDS Action Committee's activities, and material on their print and media campaign using the Norman Rockwell painting "The Facts of Life." Also included are brochures providing information on AIDS and describing available AIDS Action Committee services; Spanish language versions of some of these brochures are included. (Brochures describing AIDS Action Committee's programs remain with the series for the relevant function.)

The series also contains posters providing AIDS and safer sex information, and announcing AIDS Action Committee events. It includes the controversial posters from their MBTA condom campaign and a two part volume entitled “AIDS Action Committee vs. T” consisting of newspaper clippings and news releases documenting the controversy. Also included are video and audio tapes of AIDS Action Committee public service announcements, conferences, educational material, and news spots. In addition, the series includes an issues file, containing material on topics such as the AIDS Action Committee's conflict with the National AIDS Brigade over the From all Walks of Life AIDS walk. (Please refer to Series 1 for issues such as the Safer Sex Brochure controversy, and refer to Series 1 and 5 for additional material on Pastoral Concerns.) Brand redesign materials are found in the public relations section of series 3. Finally, the series contains partial runs of several AIDS Action Committee newsletters. Newsletters for specific programs (such as the Client Services Buddy Program's newsletter SST Express) can be found in the appropriate series.
