This database has been developed as part of the 2025 NAPWHA memory audit ‘Tracing our Memories’.
This database aims to bring together a comprehensive list of the historical materials of people with HIV in Australia currently held in Australian archives, libraries, museums and art galleries. All information below is accurate, to the best of our ability, at the time of publication. However, it should not be used in place of direct engagement with either the materials in question, or the institutions that house them.
If there is something you would like to see added to the database, or if you have any questions about either the project or any of the materials listed below, please contact [email protected]
