Recruiting Posters for Women from World War II

When complete, this exhibit will contain all of the works in the Navy Art Collection that relate to the recruitment of women during World War II. This includes not only finished posters, but also original artwork for the posters. In the future it is hoped that more written information will be included, but time constraints on the staff do not permit this at present. We feel, however, that these images are too important to delay presenting them.
