The ACT UP Oral History Project is an extensive archive of 187 interviews with members of ACT UP, the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power, New York. Founded in 1987, ACT UP is a diverse and non-partisan group committed to direct action to end the AIDS crisis, and their determined advocacy and demonstrations have had a profound impact on the perception of people with AIDS and queer individuals, as well as the medical research and drug approval processes in the United States.
The project also includes the Latina/o Caucus Archive, which played a crucial role in AIDS activism and LGBT activism in Puerto Rico. The ACT UP Oral History Project aims to disseminate this comprehensive and multifaceted history to promote study, research, and discussion of ACT UP's legacy, showcasing the individuals who have made up ACT UP New York and their transformative contributions to various aspects of society, from healthcare to civil rights to political organizing.
