HIV and AIDS - International Memory Project (IMP)

Free CD-ROM of memory work resources

Discussion at the SIPAA newsletter workshop, Kenya

As one of four partners in the Source International Information Support Centre, Healthlink Worldwide has produced a CD-ROM signposting key information resources on the memory work approach.

The CD includes training materials, case-studies, background information, and reports as well as the Memory work trainer's manual.

The information resources signposted cover a range of issues of interest to individuals and organisations supporting families affected by HIV and AIDS. Links to websites have been provided for those with access to the Internet.

The CD is divided into three main areas:

Example of page from the CD-ROMEach area brings together analysis and practical tools to help organisations develop skills and approaches to Memory work.

Support for resource centres is also included, which includes guidance on gathering, using and disseminating HIV and AIDS information.

Information and tools from the International Memory Project are also available; an overview of the project, information about the partners, stories from the project, as well as useful guides for starting memory work projects and the memory work trainer's manual.

The CD-ROM was produced to coincide with the XVI International AIDS Conference, Toronto, August 2006, at which NACWOLA and Healthlink Worldwide are participating. It is a pilot version.

We are planning to produce a second version of the CD-ROM in 2007, which will contain the full-text of many of the resources listed (as well as links to external websites). Any feedback on the pilot version or suggestions of resources to include in the next version are welcome, either by email info@healthlink.org.uk or by completing and returning the feedback form:

To order a free copy of the pilot version please email info@healthlink.org.uk with your name and organisation details. Do let us know if you would be interested in receiving the full-text version when it is ready.
