African Section Poster Collection

About

The African Section of the African and Middle Eastern Division of the Library of Congress holds a rich and vast collection of pamphlets and posters amassed over the last six decades from across Sub-Saharan Africa. The division's pamphlet collection, including ephemera such as non-published materials, documents, government reports, press clippings, calendars, postcards, and memorabilia from elections and various campaigns on the African continent, was cataloged at a collection level in the 1990s. This project aims to organize and document a selection of the 700 posters from Africa so that their contents may be digitized and accessible to scholars, researchers, and members of the public. This project includes scanning and sorting the posters, examining them for key identifying information and images, and preparing them to be housed in storage.
