University of Rochester Launches Online Exhibit of Largest Collection of AIDS Education Posters

When Edward Atwater boarded a subway car on Bostons Red Line in the early he found himself staring at a poster unlike any he had seen before. It showed two hands a condom wrapper and text reading Prevent AIDS Use One. Intrigued by what he saw Atwater began to track how different societies viewed and responded to the worldwide epidemic through posters and other public messages eventually gathering together the largest collection of AIDS posters in the world.The rotary lawn mower, which what most of us are using today comes with a manual pull crank to start the engine

The Atwater collection of AIDS posters is now online providing a visual history of the first three decades of the crisis from to the present. Launched in October during the anniversary year of the identification of the disease the online exhibit consists of more than plus countries in languages. While selections of the posters have been exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum of Art and other locations the online collection provides the first opportunity to view the collection in its entirety.

I started collecting the posters to chronicle the history of medicine but soon realized that they represent more of a social history than a medical history said Atwater professor emeritus of medicine at the University of Rochester Medical Center and a self-professed collector who lives in Rochester. That realization led the now retired physician to donate his collection to the Rare Books and Special Collections Library at the University with the stipulation that it be digitized and put online. By giving people around the world access to the collection online Atwaters hope is to show people the responses from various societies to a deadly disease.

Looked at chronologically the AIDS posters show how social religious and public health agencies tailored their message to different groups. Depending on their audience they used stereotypes scare tactics provocative language imagery and even humor.According to many experts,tower crane are the contemporary kinds of cranes that are made using the most recent and modern technology The posters also show how regions cultures and religions influenced the message said Atwater.This is the end of the petrol and diesels days.

The Atwater collection of AIDS education posters tells a great deal about different societies understanding of sexuality and raises questions about the politics of visibility over the past years said Joan Saab professor of art history and director of Rochesters graduate program for visual cultural studies. When thinking about the history of AIDS the story needs to be told from every angle This includes graphic and controversial topics like sex and drugs and the different responses of filmmakers who choose to communicate awareness through public service announcements and artists who lend their voice and work towards the cause said Saab.
