Maybe I’ve been reading Lileks too much, and maybe it’s ‘cause a lot of bloggers have been using them as graphics lately, but I wanted to see if those WWII posters still linger somewhere online. With a tool like the Internet, I’d say it’s hard to keep a lid on history any longer, even sixty-plus year-old history. Even thousand-year-old history.

So. Here is a collection of over 300 WWII posters at the Northwestern University Library. Here are more posters at Duke University - this collection focuses more on the United States’s WWII ad campaign. I’m sure there are more sites out there, but these are the first two I stumbled across and I’ve been going through them all morning. Enjoy.
