Cataloging and digitization of 4,000 art posters dating from the 20th and 21st centuries that illuminate many aspects of Puerto Rico's social, political, and cultural life.

The proposed Digitizing the Puerto Rican Poster Collection of the Museum of History, Anthropology and Art at the University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras Campus is a three-year project that will digitize 4,000 posters of the 20th and 21st centuries. Digitizing this collection will preserve the collection and enable the transfer of information about them from a manual record into a computerized collections management system, and will make the museum's unique holdings accessible globally.
