title: Saving AIDS conferences online: interview with Sister Mary Elizabeth, founder of AEGiS. Interview by John S. James.
abstract: Some of the most important AIDS conferences are not online, and even the U.S. National Library of Medicine and the conference organizers do not have a paper or electronic copy of the abstracts presented. Some may be lost forever. But they could be saved if a copy can be found, and you might be able to help. Here we interview the founder of AEGIS (www.aegis.org/), the well-known AIDS database that has done critically important work in preserving conferences as well as making AIDS news and other information available around the world.
