Scope and Content:

The New Hampshire AIDS Task Force Records, 1989-1994, have been compiled by Virginia "Ginny" Blackmer, who served as the president of the New Hampshire Nurses' Association, chair of the Nursing Task Force on HIV/AIDS, and on the Public Policy board of the GSAC. Through these positions she collected documents from those and various other organizations detailing the policy side of AIDS treatment in New Hampshire in the early 1990s. The records are primarily composed of Granite State AIDS Consortium (GSAC) internal documents such as board of directors meeting minutes; monthly and yearly reports; American Nurses Association (ANA) memos; public information pamphlets on AIDS, AIDS treatment, and community resources; and information on both New Hampshire and federal laws concerning AIDS testing, treatment, and status disclosure of both healthcare providers and their patients. The records cannot be considered whole representations of the AIDS treatment effort or of any of the organizations within. The collection consists of material that has been printed, duplicated, or otherwise prepared for distribution within and between organizations.
