Posters from the WPA: Collection Highlights


The following presentation of collection highlights was selected by Library staff who have worked closely with the WPA posters. The posters were selected with an eye toward their design, representation of a variety of states and artists, and as a way of featuring those that have not been widely published. These examples demonstrate the breadth and depth of the collection and the styles and content used by the WPA to advertise varied programs and campaigns. The presentation is divided into the following sections:

1. Health and Safety

2. Cultural Programs

3. Travel and Tourism

4. Educational Programs

5. Community Activities

6. Federal Project Number One

7. World War II
