| Abstract | In the last five years there has been a resurgence of scholarly research and museum exhibitions on the history of HIV and AIDS. This work has called into question some of the conventions of archiving and interpreting the history of the pandemic. It is increasingly clear that a narrow range of materials have been saved. As historians and curators turn to these holdings for analysis and exhibition, they find they inadequately represent the impact of AIDS across diverse groups as well as the range of local, national, international responses. This essay considers some of the factors that shape collection of the material culture, particularly the heritage of public health, and the consequences for our understanding of lessons from the past. © 2020, Fundacao Oswaldo Cruz.

Public health heritage and policy: HIV and aids in museums and archives Herança e política de saúde pública: HIV e aids em museus e arquivos. In the analysis that follows I discuss the preservation and reuse of AIDS education materials in archives and museums and the implications for investigating and interpreting the global history of the pandemic. Collecting and exhibiting the paraphernalia of public health Perhaps the most ubiquitous things generated by the pandemic and collected in archives and museums are the materials associated with HIV education. At a workshop at the Amsterdam Museum to discuss AIDS collecting participants discussed a needle-dispensing machine from the holdings of the Science Museum as a possible object that could be sought out in Amsterdam given the citys history as a centre for heroin use in the s and status as the first country in the world to introduce needle exchange programmes in. In an attempt to diversify the viewpoints saved and shared a number of major archival projects have been undertaken which focus on oral histories rather than objects as a means to preserve these pasts.
