E. H. Tepper Collection of World War II Posters

The posters issued by the U.S. government, together with those which do not clearly indicate by whom they were issued, have been grouped first by subject. Within each subject, the posters have been filed alphabetically by title or first line. Filed after the 15 folders of government posters are three folders of posters which were issued by private companies and nongovernmental organizations; these items appear in alphabetical order by the name of the group which issued them. (Additional World War II posters, not included in the Tepper Collection and hence not listed here, are also available in the repository.)
