War Posters

The Minneapolis Public Library, in cooperation with the University of Minnesota Libraries Digital Collections Unit, has put up a site where you can view and order copies of vintage World War 2 propaganda posters: Posters of the Second World War.

Here's a couple of my favorites:

War Traffic Must Come First

UNITED: The United Nations Fight for Freedom

To Victory (featuring British lion and Canadian, uh, beaver)

This is really cool to me because back when I worked at the University Libraries, I wrote the first prototype for the content management system that handled these war posters.

Too Many Blogs

I now have definative proof that there are too many blogs and they get too much love from search engines.

Recent referer on my other blog: a Google search for articles and comments about social security in regular newspapers.

Of course, he found the New Patriot instead of a regular newspaper...
