The UK’s AIDS Memorial Quilt has been digitised and made available online for the first time to ensure those lost to the HIV/AIDS epidemic are never forgotten.

The quilt is made up of 42 large pieces that are each comprised of eight panels commemorating someone who died of an AIDS-related illness.
