Book your students for a Closed Collection Study Session with one of the following collection packages HERE

Curators will provide the collection items, and you will provide the assignment. In the past, professors have had their students observe and interpret, perform various types of analysis or synthesis, research, organize, or engage in other forms of critical thinking. The possibilities are limitless, and we are always available to work with you in advance to craft an assignment.

Closed Collection Packages

Political Promotion through the Ages

Items from across multiple national campaigns and decades will provide an opportunity for students to analyze how political advertising, marketing, and messaging have changed over time, while simultaneously exhibiting patterns and similarities. For example, evident in the collection items are the enduring symbols used by political parties, such as the log cabin for Kentucky Republicans, and the rooster for Democrats. Political promotional items include: 10 bumper stickers, 20 political buttons, 10 posters and fliers, and 10 varied promotional items (matchboxes, nail files, ribbons, sheet music, etc.).  Total Items: 50
