World AIDS day: what did YOU do?

While World Aids Day (Friday, December 1, 2006) has come and gone, an online collection of more than 600 AIDS posters from around the world is still available for viewing. Sourced from a physical collection housed at the UCLA’s Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library, images can be searched or browsed by visitors by country, topic, creator or title. Posters range from the terrifying to the amusing and use a variety of media – cartoons, photographs, slogans, and/or abstract drawings – to impart their message.

Access the poster collection at: http://digital.library.ucla.edu/aidsposters/
