    Organizational Histories

    UCSF previous hit AIDS next hit History Project was started in 1987 to promote the preservation of historically significant resources relating to the beginning of the previous hit AIDS next hit Epidemic, focusing on the responses by community-based organizations (CBOs) within San Francisco. Nancy Zinn, Head of Archives and Special Collections at the UCSF Library, was the Principal Investigator for the project until her retirement. She was subsequently replaced by Robin Chandler, who became the Principal Investigator for the project in April 1995. Bill (aka Willie) Walker was the Archivist for the project. In 1991 a National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) grant was received to fund the previous hit AIDS next hit History Project Records Survey. More than 50 agencies were surveyed to identify the records that should be permanently preserved. A second two-year NHPRC grant funded an extended survey of collections and development of an acquisition plan. A major part of the project was providing instruction in records management practices to the CBOs. A third NHPRC grant was received in 1993 for another two years for the Records Acquisition and Processing Project (RAPP) phase; this grant lasted until July 1995, later extended to December 1995.
    The organizations represented in this collection cover a range of starting dates and structures, from the previous hit AIDS next hit HIV Nightline, a project of the San Francisco Suicide Prevention, which was started around 1986, to the HIV Educators Support Group, which was organized in 1991 by David Baker. The HIV previous hit AIDS next hit Housing Network was a coalition of other previous hit AIDS next hit and social service organizations, such as: Catholic Charities, Homeless Advocacy Project, previous hit AIDS next hit Foundation, BCA, Hope House, Harvey Milk Club, Red Cross Homeless Prevention, DSS, Mayor's Office, Larkin Street, and Shanti.
    Some of the organizations targeted ethnic or special-needs communities. The Adolescent HIV Coalition, the Children's previous hit AIDS next hit Network, and the Youth Environment Study focused on children and teenagers. Latino issues were addressed by CURAS (Communidad Unida en Respuesta Al SIDA or Community United in Response to previous hit AIDS next hit /SIDA), the Latino Coalition on previous hit AIDS next hit /SIDA, the Latino Commission on previous hit AIDS next hit , the Latino Service Needs within the SF previous hit AIDS next hit Service System report and, Instituto Familiar de la Raza. Native American previous hit AIDS next hit issues are addressed by the Urban Indian Health Board. African American organizations are represented by the African-American Men's Caucus and the Black Coalition on previous hit AIDS next hit . The National Minority previous hit AIDS next hit Council draws on several different minority-based organizations.
    There are two broad religious coalitions, the Interfaith Conference on previous hit AIDS next hit and the Interreligious Coalition on previous hit AIDS next hit , and one congregationally based organization, the Most Holy Redeemer Support Group, in the collection. Medical and treatment issues are represented by the previous hit AIDS next hit Educators Network, the previous hit AIDS next hit Health Project, the San Francisco Medical Society previous hit AIDS next hit Task Force, the VNA (Visiting Nurses Association) of San Francisco, and the HIV Treatment Advocate. The other organizations in the collection are KAIROS House, the Needle Exchange Community Task Force, and the Stop previous hit AIDS next hit Project.

    Scope and Content of Collection

    This collection was created as part of the University of California San Francisco's previous hit AIDS next hit History Project (1987 to 1995). Willie Walker, the archivist for the project, acquired one folder of institutional records from each of 26 Community-Based Organizations. Some of these folders have since been separated into two to four folders primarily due to size, but the Stop previous hit AIDS next hit Project was also divided thematically.
    The organizations represented within this collection cover a wide variety of subject matters from race, religious groups, and previous hit AIDS next hit educators, to crisis lines, medical responses, and treatment issues, to adolescents and children, housing, and intravenous drug users. These folders contain minutes, newsletters, grant proposals, procedural manuals, teaching manuals, training manuals, fundraising documents, budgets, flyers, and other organizational materials.
