Peace Collection Ephemera
Swarthmore College Peace Collection

This collection of material constitutes primarily oversize items too large to be stored with the manuscript collections from which they came. Included are documents, graphics, newspaper advertisements, and cloth items (mostly banners). These items are often important for the peace propaganda they conveyed and/or for the biographical information they contain about peace leaders. It should be noted that the numbering starts over within each sub-category (or type of item), as noted above.
