Biographical Sketch or Historical Note
The HIV/AIDS Caregivers Oral History Project (2013-2016) was sponsored by the Hennepin History Museum (Phase I) and the Ramsey County Historical Society (Phase II) in an effort to bridge a gap in the historical record and to present a deeper understanding of the response to HIV and AIDS in the Twin Cities. The Oral History Project's core team included: Emil Angelica (Project Manager), Dr. Peter Carr (Public Health Advisor), Barbara W. Sommer (Oral Historian), Andrea Klein Bergman (Researcher and Report Creator), and Jaden (Jada) Hansen (Interviewer, Phase I). The project was made possible by Legacy funding from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund established by the vote of Minnesotans on November 4, 2008, and administered by the Minnesota Historical Society.
