Summary:
This series documents ACT UP / Boston's efforts to expedite drug testing through collaboration with other non-profit AIDS organizations and government departments both locally and throughout the United States. Records contain clinical trial results, correspondence, reports, newsletters from other AIDS organizations, fact sheets, and flyers. Of interest is the Barbara McClintock Project to Cure AIDS material and ACT UP / New York's files, which chronicle both the activism of ACT UP / New York, especially its Treatment & Data Committee, and its close working relationship with ACT UP / Boston. Also of interest is the Massachusetts Clinical Trials Directory, which was published as a result of meetings between ACT UP / Boston and the Commonwealth Department of Public Health.
