Papers of Joseph Sonnabend This collection of personal papers chiefly relates to Joseph Sonnabend's medical practice and epidemiological work on HIV and AIDS in New York, United States. Papers include extensive research notes, laboratory notebooks, research data, scientific articles and medical records of patients he treated in his Greenwich village private practice, along with material relating to his involvement in community based research such as papers relating to AIDS Medical Foundation (which he co-founded) and the Community Research Initiative/Community Research Initiative on AIDS, as well as the PWA Health Group. There are also numerous press cuttings, magazine articles and interviews which, as well as adding information, provide period context. Alongside the material relating to AIDS, the archive also holds research papers from his earlier career as a virologist studying interferon with Alick Isaacs, one of the discoverers of interferon. He spent more than a decade studying interferon largely for the Medical Research Council based in Mill Hill but later in the United States. Papers also include his work on infectious and venereal diseases in the States and include one of his earliest medical posts as a medical investigator on board a ship returning Muslim pilgrims to Indonesia during an epidemic of meningitis. 1933-2021
