content: Consists of photographic materials including black-and-white prints, contact sheets, negatives, and slides taken by Frank Espada. The photographic materials were taken in multiple neighborhoods in the San Francisco area -including The Mission and Tenderloin. The images were part of the Youth Environment Study's efforts for harm reduction among drug users as well as some of Espada's work on "Sex for Crack". Some of these efforts included providing people with bleach, condoms, and a needle exchange program. The photographs taken by Espada were used in training manuals and pamphlets, some of which are also included in this collection.
