Scope & content

This collection contains material, primarily photographs, related to the "Just Say No" campaign against drug use from 1985 to 1996. The first series includes some correspondence to and from the Just Say No Foundation and Just Say No International. While most of the material in this series concerns "Just Say No" activities in the United States, photographs of events in Sierra Leone and the Philippines are included.

The second series includes an undated photograph of Kurt Cameron, one of many celebrities who supported the "Just Say No" campaign. The first album in this series, labeled No.1, contains photographs from the 13th IFNGO Conference against Drug and Substance Abuse in the Philippines in 1991 as well as photographs of "Just Say No" conferences in Nepal and Thailand from 1991 to 1995. The second album contains photographs of "Just Say No" activities in Nepal and Thailand from 1995 and 1996. The three boxes of slides are unlabeled. They were originally in a folder dated 1990.

The three videocassettes in this collection were probably used for training purposes. The workbook published by the Just Say No Foundation contains anti-drug information and suggestions for activities related to the "Just Say No" program.
