In 2008, Cornell Library's Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections (RMC) began building a collection of political campaign publicity and memorabilia documenting the campaign and election of President Barack Obama. These materials are archived on this website, complete with a digital catalog and index. As the site's introduction notes, the collection will be of interest to multiple disciplines, including art, art history, history, and American studies. Visitors can use the Browse/Search feature to explore over 80 images, including iconic posters created by Shepard Fairey, promotional materials, and folk art.
