"Over 2,100 broadsides from the 1740s through the 1980s that depict life, politics, and religion in Georgia and the country as a whole. Many of the Georgia-related broadsides advertise events at the University of Georgia."

An interesting place to compare current trends in advertising with what worked in the past.

Citizens of Georgia can get the password to use GALILEO at home from their librarian.
