One of the World War I propaganda posters. (SUNY Geneseo/ Matt Burkhartt)
The Special Collections archive contains a large portfolio of about 75 American propaganda posters from World War I. Of unknown provenance, the posters were clearly used and not just kept as mementoes—many are tattered, and most show tack holes in their corners. It’s likely they were mounted in window displays or bulletin boards in public places or offices, such as libraries or stores.
