Inventory of the North Carolina Lesbian and Gay Health Project Records, 1983-1996
The papers of the North Carolina Lesbian and Gay Health Project (LGHP)
span the dates 1983-1996. The papers consist chiefly of
correspondence, meeting
minutes, newspaper
clippings,newsletters,training and publicity materials,programming and services records, volunteer
information,
financial statements, fundraising
project records,grant applications, and subject resource files.
The collection also includes t-shirts, banners, and
photographs. Most of the papers concern the work
of the LGHP, though the Community Connections and Subject Files series both
document programs and issues related to HIV/AIDS and gay/lesbian/bisexual
health issues as addressed by non-profit organizations; foundations and
corporations; and city, state, and federal government agencies from across
North Carolina and the entire United States.
The LGHP was founded in 1982. Due to the emergence of AIDS, it quickly
became the most prominent group dealing with the epidemic, and began to provide
direct support services to people with AIDS. The group also provided
educational programs targeting both heterosexual and gay/lesbian audiences
about specific lesbian and gay health concerns and HIV/AIDS. In addition to
AIDS education and services, the LGHP identified other issues, including
lesbian health, as major issues of importance. However, most of the
organization's fiscal and human resources were devoted to addressing HIV/AIDS.
The organization grew from a small, all-volunteer group led by a Steering
Committee that made all decisions by consensus, to a larger non-profit
organization with staff and a Board of Directors. Through its programming,
services, advocacy, and events, the group assumed a central role in fostering
the gay/lesbian/bisexual community in the Triangle and in the state more
generally, until its demise in early 1996.
