ACT UP Oral History Project Videotapes, Manuscripts and Archives Division, The New York Public Library.
The ACT UP Oral History Project Videotapes are a collection of interviews with surviving members of the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power. The project was coordinated by filmmaker Jim Hubbard and novelist Sarah Schulman, with camera work by James Wentzy (in New York) and S. Leo Chiang (on the West Coast.)
The organization ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) was formed in 1987 to address the AIDS crisis through direct political action. The Oral History Project was created to document the work of ACT UP through interviews with surviving members, and to shed light on the process of making social change.
This guide lists the videotapes and dvds available for viewing in the Manuscripts and Archives Division. A complete list of interviewees, full-text transcripts of the interviews, and video clip highlights can be viewed on the ACT UP Oral History Project homepage, //www.actuporalhistory.org/>.
