1824-1972 is now on display on the 6th floor of E.S. Bird Library.


Drawn from the artifactual collections of Syracuse University Library's Special
Collections Research Center
, the exhibit of buttons, banners, bumper stickers,
brochures, apparel and other items provides a historical overview of the images
and slogans candidates have used to position and advertise themselves in their
quest for the White House.
