More than one hundred thousand political posters from around the world are available in the Hoover Archives Poster Collection. Thirty-three thousand of these are cataloged in a searchable database. Although many thousands of posters date from World War I and World War II, the collection covers the entire twentieth century. Posters from the United States (approximately 8,700), the United Kingdom (5,000), Germany (4,200), the Russian empire and the Soviet Union (2,600), and France (1,800) predominate, though posters from more than eighty countries are described in the database.
