The Opioid Industry Documents Archive: National Symposium 2025 | Day 2: Information Science

Description

The Opioid Industry Documents Archive (OIDA) is a digital archive co-created by the University of California, San Francisco and Johns Hopkins University containing millions of documents from the opioid industry that shed light on the root causes of the opioid crisis. This unique virtual symposium offers a series of complementary panels that demonstrates OIDA's value in addressing fundamental questions of importance to historians, health policy and legal experts, journalists, archivists, and people with lived experience.

Day 2: Information Science
