Materials cover all but the last year of the Commission's existence. The majority of the collection consists of NCAIDS briefing books, and hearing and meeting transcripts. Series I contains hearing transcripts from the Commission's predecessor, the Presidential Commission on the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Epidemic (1987-1988); Series II contains the work conducted by the NCAIDS. In Series IV the collection also includes various topical reports on AIDS published by external agencies. There are no notes or correspondence in this collection and all materials appear here in published form. In addition, the Commission's report Mobilizing America's Response to AIDS, is also not included within this collection but can be found n the Library's General Collection. The bulk of the collection spans the years 1987 to early 1992. Of special interest is the Commission's final report AIDS: An Expanding Tragedy, which serves as a summary of the Commission's activities and includes a detailed chronology of its activities and provides an extensive list of all hearings, site visits, reports, and publications related to the Commission.
