Special Announcement on the AIDS Memorial Quilt & Archives

Ahead of World AIDS Day 2019, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Congressman John Lewis announced the future of the AIDS Memorial Quilt and its archives at a special ceremony at the Library of Congress. The National AIDS Memorial will become the new caretaker of the AIDS Memorial Quilt and NAMES Project programs. As part of the transition, the NAMES Project and the National AIDS Memorial have agreed to jointly gift care and stewardship of the Quilt's archival collections to the prestigious American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress, making this collection available to all through the world's largest public library.
