An extensive resource file assembled by ANS over the course of two decades in support of its news gathering efforts about Africa-related issues and U. S. foreign policy towards Africa. The collection spans the years from approximately 1960 to 1995, with the bulk of the materials dating from 1978 through 1994. Newspaper clippings, magazine articles, press releases, newsletters, brochures, and reports comprise the collection.

Collection houses the entirety of William Gedney's original photographic work as well as professional and personal papers, from his student years at Pratt Institute in the 1950s to his early death in 1989. Gedney's HIV-positive diagnosis led to letters and notes from others, offering support during the difficult years following the diagnosis. Although there are no letters from Gedney during this time, these messages from friends, as well as Gedney's datebooks, expense and medical records and photograph id cards in the Personal Papers series, offer a personal perspective on the AIDS crisis in New York City in the 1980s.

Collection includes publications, flyers, and flyer/press releases. There is a set of articles on AIDS that recommend against taking the HIV test (1985-1999).
