Abstract:

The Peace Collection Posters contains approximately 4,500 items, some of which were removed from various collections in the Peace Collection and some of which were donated independently.

This finding aid is meant to serve as a guide to the posters in the Peace Collection.

The posters are grouped into series based on the organization they were produced or commissioned by.

In some cases, the posters are from multiple organizations, therefore, an organization might appear multiple times across the series, independently and with additional organizations.

In many cases, the Peace Collection only has one poster from certain organizations. These posters are grouped into the Miscellaneous series and the organization is indicated in parentheses with the title of the poster.

There are a large number of posters for which no clear attribution exists. Those posters are grouped into the Unknown series.

Note that many of the posters do not have official titles and the titles listed in this finding aid are transcriptions of the text on the posters.

When additional information such as artist, medium, size, and provenance are known, these details can be found in the notes for each individual poster.
