Hunter Rainbow History Group: Hunter HIV/AIDS Collection
The Hunter Rainbow History Group has the privilege of documenting Newcastle/Hunter's response to the HIV/AIDS crisis - one of Australia's most significant regional responses.
We are collecting peoples' memories of those years - the people who have fought and survived the epidemic, their families, their carers, the health professionals who were in the educational and medical frontline response and those who worked in the various community HIV/AIDS organisations.
We have created a Newcastle/Hunter HIV/AIDS timeline which is a documentation of the international, national and local response of the fight back.. And in a first for Newcastle, we have begun collecting LGBTIQ+ material with the generous donation of the archives of the Community Support Network and the photos from MacKillop House to the University of Newcastle's Cultural Collections archives.
Below you can find Hunter Rainbow History Group's archive material relating to HIV/AIDS in Newcastle. The collection contains oral histories, photographs, related collections and manuscripts.
