Introduction to the Collection

The World War II Poster Project was created by the HIST100 class at Bucknell University during the Fall 2006 semester. Students worked in pairs to research and present one of the posters found in Special Collections/University Archives from World War II. By the end of the project, in addition to writing an analytical paper about their poster, the students created a small digital library to make their posters more widely accessible. The project was supported by Prof. David Del Testa (Department of History) and Doris Dysinger (Special Collections/University Archives). Additional support was provided by members of the instructional technology group and several librarians.

See the Special Collections / University Archives website for further details about the project and information about the students' research.
