Valerie Yerger honored at the 2012 Legacy Tobacco Industry Documents Awards
UCSF Professor, Valerie Yerger, was honored this year at the National Conference on Tobacco or Health for her innovative work using tobacco industry documents to demonstrate how the tobacco companies have targeted African American groups and inner-city neighborhoods. The Legacy Tobacco Industry Documents Awards recognize individuals for their use of tobacco industry documents to educate the public about industry tactics and disseminate this information to other educators and policy makers. Dr. Yerger's research also includes a focus on the relationship between melanin and nicotine, and the use of menthol as a cigarette additive. In 2010, Dr. Yerger and her team contributed reports to the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee (TPSAC), which concluded that the availability of menthol cigarettes increases initiation and reduces cessation.

The CA Tobacco Control Collection
The Legacy Tobacco Documents Library has added a new collection – the California Tobacco Control collection.The California Tobacco Control collection is a small but growing collection of materials highlighting tobacco control public policy efforts in California including tobacco tax measures, smoke-free ordinances, education and outreach. In September 2011, the LTDL began a website archiving project, funded by a TRDRP grant, using the Web Archiving Service (WAS) developed by the California Digital Library. This project, the California Tobacco Control Web Archive, consists of a selection of web resources that have been curated and "captured" on specific dates. The records from the web archive have been integrated into LTDL and are a part of this California Tobacco Control collection.
The focus of this new web archive is to preserve websites and resources created by local government, advocacy groups, tobacco control organizations, bloggers, news agencies and tobacco-industry front groups surrounding contemporary California tobacco control public policy efforts. Records from the web archive will be added to LTDL on a regular basis but a user may always go directly to the California Tobacco Control Web Archive on the CDL site to browse the preserved web resources.
