The Annual Minority Health Conference has been produced under the leadership of the Minority Student Caucus in the school of public health. Founded in 1971, the Caucus began producing an annual conference in 1977. Beginning in 1999 the keynote lecture was named in honor of William T. Small, Jr. Conferences are currently presented on the last Friday in February and have been held every year except 1989, 1990, and 2004 (the 2004 conference was cancelled due to a snowstorm, but the keynote lecture was rescheduled). Beginning in 1999, I think, William T. Small, Jr. Keynote lecture was disseminated via Internet and/or C-band satellite broadcast. In 2009 several other universities organized "partner conferences" that used the webcast from UNC as a part of a local event, including in several cases a full conference. In 2012 an afternoon keynote lecture was added and named in my honor.
I wrote a brief history of the Annual Minority Health Conference (http://minority.unc.edu/sph/minconf/?redirect=no), which includes a list of the conferences through 2013. The first conferences were run entirely by the students. Beginning in 1991 the school of public health Office of Continuing Education began providing technical, coordination, and logistical support. That support included creating a conference website in the mid-1990s, but these webpages were not apparently archived. I began to archive the webpages in 1998 and eventually took over creating and maintaining the conference webpages. All of the pages that I created are still online (as of July 2014) on a ColdFusion website at http://cf.unc.edu/minority/. In 2010, I think, the conference planning committee arranged for its own website on the StudentOrgs webserver managed by UNC Student Affairs. However, after the first year that website was not always maintained, and in 2013 UNC Student Affairs retired the server. I maintained parallel websites for some years and made an attempt to archive many of the pages from the StudentOrgs website. For the 2014 conference the conference planning committee created a new website at minorityhealth.web.unc.edu.
Historical pages about the Minority Student Caucus are at http://www.minority.unc.edu/sph/caucus/ and about the Conference at http://minority.unc.edu/sph/minconf/?redirect=no Not all of the archived pages are available via the web, but I have copies on my disk drive. Some newer information on the conference is on a new Minority Health Project site being maintained (currently by Sharbari Dey of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs) on the school of public health Wordpress site.
Besides the historical webpages online and the archived pages and documents on my disk drive, I have videotapes (mostly DV-CAMs) and DVDs of all of the keynote lectures since at least 2002 and downloaded web video from 2000 and 2001. Some sessions were recorded during earlier conferences, but it is not known how many of these have survived (I heard recently that a copy of a recording from the 1977 conference had been located; I know that recordings were made in the mid-1990s but am not aware of any copies.) Archived webcasts since 2002 can be found at http://cf.unc.edu/minority/resources/webcasts
I also have assorted copies of old conference programs, some handouts, and various other documents, materials such as agendas and minutes and handouts. Much of the paper materials are unsystematic and located in piles. In addition I have numerous electronic files, including web registrations for satellite and Internet broadcasts of the keynote lecture, viewing statistics,and myriad other files.
I also have various video and audio recordings from and about the conference and its history. I have these in multiple formats and in various locations, including a 1 TB Toshiba USB drive. MP4 versions of many of the videos are also posted online at http://www.minority.unc.edu/resources/videos/, http://www.epidemiolog.net/video/msc-mhc/2013/, and http://www.epidemiolog.net/video/msc-mhc/2014/. In 2012(?) I recorded an interview with John Hatch, during which among other things he recounts the formation and early years of the Minority Student Caucus.
This collection is one of the more significant ones that I have.
Note: the historical Minority Health Project website, cf.unc.edu/minority/ which has more commonly been accessed at www.minority.unc.edu, will at some point be discontinued, so preservation of its contents needs to be considered. A newer version of the site has been created on the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health Wordpress site, but it is not complete with respect to archival materials.
