The papers include essay drafts, published essays, news articles, protest chants, and stickers. Items date from 1990 to 1993 and are arranged chronologically. Most of the materials relate to Gerhart’s membership with ACT UP St. Louis. There are news articles by Dennis Chambers and Gerhart published by local media and a letter to editor of the News-Telegraph written by Chambers. Ephemera items include stickers distributed by ACT UP/STL which read, “No Condoms, No Safety, Know Condoms, Know Safety.” There are also stickers from The Christian Coalition, “We know who you are and we know how you should live.” Finally, there is a small flier fashioned like a dollar bill hand out which reads, “Profit before Compassion, Profit before Community” on the front and “A Share in PMA Profit!” on the back.
