Description
Chineseposters.net is a non-profit online archive presenting over 5,600 authentic Chinese propaganda posters drawn from the collections of Stefan Landsberger (Leiden University / University of Amsterdam), the International Institute of Social History (IISH, Amsterdam), and a private collector, together totaling over 7,000 pieces. The site is owned and maintained by the Chinese Posters Foundation (established 2011). Each poster entry is accompanied by biographical notes on artists and thematic context, with a searchable catalog, a gallery of 200 highlights, and over 300 thematic presentations. The archive has been online since September 2007; following the passing of co-founder Stefan Landsberger in September 2024, the site continues to be actively maintained by co-editor Marien van der Heijden.
