Aids Ephemera

December 4, 2008 By Tom Murphy Leave a Comment

A while back I wrote an article about the National Library of Medicine and their exhibit on the “Varieties of Medical Ephemera”.

LifeSavers Their “AIDS Ephemera,” is an exhibit which opened November 25, 2002. The materials are drawn from the NLM’s Prints & Photographs collection. The National Library of Medicine has a remarkable collection of posters, pamphlet, buttons – many of which are displayed on the site representing the creative efforts of public health officials to combat the disease.

Although we have missed “World Aids Week” which began on Monday, November 24th, why not stop on over at the National Library of Medicine’s Aids Ephemera Exhibit and have a look.

I’m Tom Murphy and thanks for helping me give Ephemera the encore it deserves.

About Tom Murphy
My name is Tom Murphy and I’m becoming more and more a full time Blogger - trying to master this new and dynamic medium called blogging. Back in the late 1990s I found the Internet and was not sure what it was.. or where it was going. I worked at the time for IBM and we had what was called then PROFS - the Professional Office System. I didn’t know it at the time but that was perhaps my beginning interest in blogging. As I learn more and more about Blogging.. and Wordpress.. and my other passion - Ephemera, I hope to be able to blog about it to my followers here on this blogsite. Stay with me for what I hope will be a fun adventure for us all.
