Poster Collection, 1877-present

The Poster Collection ranges from 1877 to the present, with the bulk concentrated from the 1970s on. The collection documents college and department-specific events, student activities and activism, and gender identity and sexuality issues on campus. It also includes some posters from certain personal paper groups. The posters are foldered and housed according to their sizes, and thus some subjects will be held in several different flat files or boxes. The Subject Guide to Posters lists subjects in alphabetical order with the locations of the posters in those subjects. An older, more detailed inventory exists that can be requested, but posters are no longer being described at the item level.

The collection has not been digitized in its entirety. A small number were photographed in connection with specific digital projects accessible from the Library or Archives websites.
