In January 2013, the Medical Historical Library acquired a collection of over 2600 international public health and safety posters from 56 countries. Topics include maternal and child health, anti-drug and tobacco campaigns, breastfeeding, clean water, prevention of diseases such as malaria and polio, and accident prevention and safety. Kenya, The Netherlands, Oman, France, and Germany are particularly well represented in the collection. Posters issued by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Pan American Health Organization, and Doctors without Borders are also included. Please contact Melissa Grafe, melissa.grafe@yale.edu, for more information and for access to the posters.
