Organizational History

UCSF has been collecting materials on tobacco control efforts since the 1990s. Stemming from events such as the multi-state lawsuit and Master Settlement Agreement and buttressed by the work of Stanton A. Glantz in the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education, we have collected papers and organizational records of government agencies and activist groups, as well as papers of individuals active in tobacco control. We have an extensive video library that includes anti-smoking public service announcements, news programs and documentaries.
