Advertising Resources in the BPCL

The Browne Popular Culture Library has an extensive pin-back button collection devoted to subjects such as advertising, sayings and slogans, sports, movies, commemorative, and political or non-political nature, to name just a few of the hundreds of buttons acquired over the years. 

A price guide is available in our reference collection if you are interested: Collectible pin-back buttons, 1896-1986 : an illustrated price guide.

This collection and its finding aid were updated by Mackenzie Ryan in April 2012.
