About the original posters
These images were scanned from original posters in the Social Welfare History Archives at the University of Minnesota. The American Social Health Association, an organization that has focused on the elimination of sexually transmitted diseases since the early 1900s, kept copies of posters that they had produced or sponsored, as well as others produced by various government agencies. ASHA donated the posters to the Social Welfare History Archives along with the rest of their historical records.
Copyright to most of the original posters has expired, or in the case of government-produced posters, was always in the public domain. The University of Minnesota Libraries holds copyright to the scanned images.
