Additional comments

This digital collection is very detailed, each entry is not only referenced by keywords and artist, but cross referenced by subject, organization, sponsors. Each entry includes a written description of the poster, and contains details to the size of the poster as well.

The images are all scanned at high resolution and are highly detailed. The search function allows you to search full text, metadata, title, subject or creator. If the user clicks on the image in the search results, they are given the full sized image. Or they can click on the text and be brought to the main entry. At the main entry page there is also a link to the image.
