This fascinating site posted by the Huntington Archive at Ohio State University features materials from a recent conference sponsored by the University of Westminster's School of Fine Arts Gallery and Indiana University's East Asian Studies Center focusing on posters from the Cultural Revolution. The online gallery allows viewers to examine representative posters of the era and features accompanying notes of analysis and, in some cases, audio components featuring snippets of culturally relevant songs or chanting as well as extended audio recordings of some lectures and round table discussions from the conference. The site also links to The University of Westminster's Chinese Poster Collection, which features dozens of posters from their 500 item collection spanning the period between the late 1960s and the late 1980s.
