Suffrage movements are well documented in the Schlesinger Library's holdings through visual materials such as photographs and posters. Also often included in archival collections are items termed "memorabilia," which can include pins and buttons, banners and pennants, sashes, and more. These items are located in numerous collections and can be challenging to locate.
The Library holds one collection consisting entirely of suffrage posters, the Poster Collection of Alice Park. All posters in this collection have been digitized and are accessible without a Harvard ID through HOLLIS Images.
