Historical Note

The AIDS Survival Project (ASP) was founded in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1987. One of the first organizations in Atlanta founded specifically to serve the community of individuals diagnosed with HIV and AIDS, it offered support services, such as HIV testing and peer counseling. The organization ceased most operations in 2008 due to decreasing financial support and closed completely in 2009.

Scope and Content Note

The collection consists of the records of the AIDS Survival Project from 1987-2009. It includes financial records, development records, such as donor files and grant files, records of the organization's peer counseling program, and records documenting the organization's advocacy work and special programming.
