This collection was donated by Carole Angela "Angie" Lewis after she was interviewed by Sally Smith Hughes as a part of her oral history series The AIDS Epidemic in San Francisco. It consists primarily of conference materials, correspondence and writings by Lewis, concerning her educational work on HIV and AIDS from 1982-1991. There are no personal or biographical papers in the collection.

This collection consists primarily of schedules and announcements, correspondence, etc. from conferences and events that Angie Lewis organized and/or spoke at, or a few that she just attended (1980-1991). Some of these have a few annotations written on them. Also included are letters of thanks and appreciation of Lewis's speaking at a number of UCSF classes and other groups. One letter is from a woman thanking Lewis for her mentorship. Of special interest is the draft report from the 1990 international meeting on "Education of Health Professionals in HIV Infection and AIDS" in Istanbul, Turkey, where Lewis was the American nursing representative.

The collection also includes copies of a few of her speeches and other writings. Most of these are filed chronologically with the other conference materials. There is also one folder of published articles by or about Lewis. One important folder contains correspondence, proposal and publicity material about her book: Nursing Care of the Person with AIDS/ARC published in 1988. This file includes a letter updating Lewis on the life and health of the individual who wrote the 'person living with AIDS' section of the book. It also includes two snapshots of Lewis and the patient holding the book.

The other files consist of: two large books of materials from two Continuing Education courses for nurses on AIDS from 1983; a folder of undated handwritten notes for a presentation on "taking care of ourselves;" and a folder with the proposal to make HIV study "a center of excellence" at UCSF. The folder containing materials related directly to Lewis' employment history at UCSF is RESTRICTED; please see the Head of Archives and Special Collections for details/access.

The final two folders contain several miscellaneous handouts about AIDS, probably used in one or more of her talks, and duplicates of some of the program flyers and brochures found elsewhere in the collection. The miscellaneous folder also contains a pamphlet How to Have Sex in an Epidemic: One Approach by Richard Berkowitz and Michael Callen, News From The Front Publications, 1983, Printed by Tower Press in New York, NY.
