The richest sources of information in the collection are the chapter's meeting agendas and
minutes, 1990-1994; newsletters, 1992-1996; and newspaper clippings, 1990-1995. A folder of
ephemera includes safe sex brochures targeted at teens, flyers for demonstrations, business
cards, and other handouts. The collection also contains material relating to ACT UP
Milwaukee's function as an information clearing house for ACT UP chapters across the United
States and Europe, including Belgium, Los Angeles, Minnesota, New York, Paris, Philadelphia,
and San Francisco.
Subject files relate to ACT UP Milwaukee's social and political activism, such as its

National Convention in 1992, and the Symposium on Future Directions in AIDS Research held in
Madison, 1993. Also included is a subject file and audio cassette relating to ACT UP's
efforts to improve access to dental services. Information on many other ACT UP Milwaukee
actions is found in the videos, newsletter, and newspaper clippings files.
