Exhibition: "Post This Up!" American Broadsides from the Rubenstein Library

Broadsides once served as public announcements. Generally posted or read aloud, they were the popular "broadcasts" of their day, bringing news of current events to the public quickly and often disappearing just as quickly. Broadsides capture a moment in time, offering us intriguing snapshots of our nation¿s history and culture. The David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library holds more than 5,000 broadsides among its collections. On display in the Rubenstein Library Rare Book Room Cases.
