One of the projects I’ve thought about doing these past months is a kind of illuminated manuscript of PLWA’s or who have died of AIDS that have influenced me.  I found this set of trading cards in the archive at the ICI and in some ways I think it does it better.  I did a little bit of digging on the internet, but didn’t find too much information about this project, except where linked above.  The last link is a list of all 110 cards.
