posters in the Netherlands

International Institute of Social History

This guide offers a survey of the image and sound collections held by the IISH, including some 250.000 photos and 138.000 negatives.



The institute holds one of the largest collections of posters in the Netherlands (ca. 118.200) and stores several hundred banners.

In addition, the collections include a considerable number of films (ca. 2500) and videos (ca. 4000), as well as several thousand sound tapes and gramophone records.

Most of the image and sound collections are accessible through our online catalogue (OPC) and can be searched by organisation, date, location, or subject. There is a subject index in the thesaurus.
