During the years of Hawaiʻi's AIDS crisis, Steven DeMaggio created several panels for the memorial NAMES Project AIDS Quilt honoring friends and acquaintances who had passed due to the disease. DeMaggio's collection contains clippings, medical literature, other documents, and photographs from this era of his life. Materials relate to AIDS, especially in Hawaiʻi; the Names Project AIDS Quilt in general; and several individual Quilt panels that DeMaggio created in particular.
