The Polish Poster Collection

RIT Libraries received grant funding from the 1997 and 1998 Regional Bibliographic Databases and Interlibrary Resources Sharing Program of the New York State Education Department to provide access to over 447 posters in the Archives and Special Collections.

The posters were produced to promote cultural and entertainment events (films, theater, museum exhibitions, opera, circus), health, tourism, and political causes. The collection includes numerous examples of the work of noted Polish illustrators and designers.

Library users can search under the artist's name, title, keyword or subject (posters, polish) to access the bibliographic record as well as a digital image of the poster. To access these, do an EINSTEIN, SUBJECT search on "posters polish" and then view the listed poster records and images or you can view the digital examples of the posters directly.
