Poster Series

As part of our academic advocacy efforts, the OLH is producing a series of posters highlighting different aspects of our publishing for various humanities scholarly communities. Designed by acclaimed publishing graphic designers, Becky Chilcott and Nicky Borowiec the series celebrates the launch of the Open Library of Humanities. We released these posters throughout 2016 and 2017, and in 2021, each of which is dedicated to a different historical period and style which pays tribute to the range of humanities scholarship that the OLH publishes in its journals.

Please feel free to download and share these posters!

Our first in the series, The Victorian Poster, designed by Becky Chilcott, was launched shortly after the anniversary publication of our journal 19: Interdisciplinary Studies in the Long Nineteenth Century . Celebrating its 10th year, the bumper anniversary issue of 19 titled "The Nineteenth-Century Digital Archive" featured 18 articles as well as two editorials, that examine the possibilities of the nineteenth-century archive in the digital era.

Following on from our highly popular Victorian Poster, the second poster in our series, designed by Becky Chilcott – The Constructivist Poster – is a fitting tribute to the grassroots support from academics, librarians and publishers that have made the OLH possible.

The third poster in our series, also designed by Becky Chilcott – The Muybridge Poster –  showcases the OLH's commitment to supporting the publication of audio visual content including video essays, film clips, and music clips and other audio files. In Autumn 2016 the OLH welcomed its first video essay journal onto the platform, The Journal of Embodied Research , which responds to a pressing need among scholars and practitioners for a prestigious journal that brings together scholarship and videography.

The fifth poster in our series  – The Comic Superheroes Poster – was designed by Nicky Borowiec to celebrate the opening of our journal flipping programme thanks to the support of our higher-tier member libraries, and celebrates the diversity of comics and visual arts scholarship in the humanities, such as that published by OLH journal The Comics Grid: Journal of Comics Studies.

The sixth poster in our series – The Barbara Kruger Poster – was designed by Nicky Borowiec to celebrate the opening of our journal flipping programme thanks to the support of our higher-tier member libraries. The poster is inspired by the iconic feminist work of Barbara Kruger Untitled (Your body is a battleground) created in 1989 for the Women's March in Washington in support of reproductive freedom and choice. We would like to express our gratitude to the artist, Barbara Kruger, for allowing us to build on her brilliant work to raise awareness of our journal flipping scheme and help unlock global access to humanities scholarship.
