Created by communities bonded together by illness and a desire to make change, these posters provide a gateway to AIDS history, illustrating how, in the face of illness, neglect, and, early on, the unknown, people came together to connect, create, and save one another&#8217;s lives. Today, AIDS posters continue to be valuable resources for the ongoing epidemic. They teach us about community organizing processes and the ways that groups dealing with HIV heal, share fears, and strategize toward wellness together.<\/p>\n<p>The NLM Traveling Exhibition will be on display on the plaza level of the Woodruff Health Sciences Center Library from February 9 to March 21, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>View the virtual accompanying display at the National Library of Medicine&#8217;s website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nlm.nih.gov\/exhibition\/aids-posters\/index.html\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Brought to you by the National Library of Medicine\u2019s Traveling Exhibition program.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now on display at the WHSC Library: AIDS, Posters, and Stories of Public Health: A People\u2019s History of a Pandemic This exhibition explores how AIDS posters serve as highly adaptable, durable, cost effective, efficient tools in sharing public health messaging.
