{"value"=>"<p>Series VI. Chapters is arranged in two subseries: VI.A. United States, 1986-1993, n.d., and VI.B. International, n.d. It should be noted that although ACT UP New York was the founding chapter, it did not act as the organization's national headquarters; each chapter was autonomous. Materials in this series provide evidence of ACT UP's activities outside of New York. The bulk of the series focuses on chapters established in the United States. Of these, the Los Angeles chapter was the largest and most well documented. There is some information on how chapters adapted in locales more conservative than New York City. Outside of the continental United States, a chapter was established in Puerto Rico. International chapters documented here include Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Brussels, Cape Town, Europe, Köln, London, Melbourne, Milano, Montréal, Moscow, Paris, Sydney, and Vancouver.</p>"}
