As one of the largest and most comprehensive collection of its type in Britain, The Imperial War Museum’s poster collection documenting the social, political, ethnic and cultural aspirations of warring nations from the First World War to more recent conflicts.

The collection is an essential resource for looking at the development of mass communication, propaganda, publicity, commercial art and graphic design especially in poster as the media.

The Posters of Conflict project was a joint venture between the Imperial War Museum and the Manchester Institute for Research and Innovation in Art and Design (MIRIAD) at Manchester Metropolitan University, to catalogue, digitally photograph and publish online around 10,000 posters from the Museum’s internationally important collection and took around three-years to complete. Below are some of the poster archives that I can share here.
