Background

Scope and content:

This collection contains 39 black and white photographs of portraits, still-life, architecture, and abstracts, many of which portray religious symbols or imagery. Of these photographs, 33 are matted on boards. The collection was donated by Visual Aid, a group that formed in 1989 to serve artists affected by HIV/AIDS and that, over time, expanded its mission to help produce, present and preserve the work of professional, visual artists in need, and those whose careers are challenged because of any life-threatening illness.
