Find and order posters

Here you can find out how to access the National Library's posters. The form on this page can be used both to help you find what you are looking for and to order posters.

Here's how it works

Look first in our search services:

Can't find what you're looking for?

If you can't find the poster you're looking for, we're happy to help. Please use the form below and remember to be as specific as possible in your request.

Once you have made a request

You will be notified by email when we have processed your request or order. We will primarily assist you remotely, with digital copies or low-resolution reference images.

If you need access to physical posters, you can access them in the Special Reading Room by arrangement with staff. Please note that due to the format of the material and the size of the collection, large enquiries and orders may take up to 14 days to process.

Contact form

Please be as specific as possible with your question. What does the poster represent? What is it about and what time period is it from? The more detailed you describe, the easier it is for us to help you!

The posters are arranged by topic such as film, politics, music or food advertising.





Please note that you must have a library card to access material from the collections.
