Organizational History
The Multicultural AIDS Resource Center (MARC) was a subsidiary project of the Multicultural Training Resource Center (MTRC).
MTRC was created in 1984 by Sala Udin, an experienced community organizer who was interested in helping people of color to
increase skills and knowledge in community organizing. MARC was created to train the statewide contractors that serve people
of color, about multicultural approaches to AIDS education and prevention. Its two main programs were Abraxas, which developed
a multi-cultural HIV Antibody Test educational campaign, and a three year state-funded Technical Assistance Program.
Besides these two primary operations, MARC staff were key players in developing strong advocacy for AIDS services appropriate
to the diverse cultures of people of color in the San Francisco Bay Area. Records selected for retention document each of
these activities.
As other organizations that focused on gay men of color grew and began to secure more service contracts, and reporting requirements
became more demanding, MTRC found itself increasingly under-funded and out of step. Both MARC and the Multicultural Training
Resource Center closed in early 1993.
Scope and Content of Collection
The two main programs documented in this collection are Abraxas and a three year, state-funded Technical Assistance Program.
Under the latter, MARC developed curricula for eight and sixteen hour trainings, which began to take place in 1989. It also
established a library and information resource which included an in-house database and linkage to major public and proprietary
electronic databases, as well as monographs, articles, videos and other materials on AIDS, substance abuse, and multi-culturalism.
Other training resources in this collection include packets on Black Leadership in AIDS (9/87), Black Sexuality & AIDS (1989),
Sexual and Drug Behavior Change in Minority Communities (1989), and a generic training manual on AIDS and Minorities (1989).
Materials in this collection include: correspondence, minutes, speeches, manuals, reports, and training files.
