Abstract: A collection of assembled printed manifestoes, tracts, exhibition catalogs, and posters created by members of Internationale
Situationniste (I.S.). The founding of this politically charged artistic and literary movement can be traced through the small
amount of ephemera by the Internationale Lettriste and Bauhaus Imaginiste groups, precursors to I.S.

This artificial collection was created from materials acquired from two separate sources. Both collections were primarily
composed of books initially accessioned by the library. The remaining ephemera was transferred to Special Collections. Lynda
Bunting organized the ephemera and wrote the box list.
Scope and Content of Collection
An artificial collection of printed manifestoes, tracts, exhibition catalogs and posters created by members of Internationale
situationniste (I.S.), including Enrico Baj, Asger Jorn and Guy Debord. The founding of this politically charged artistic
and literary movement can be traced in the small amount of ephemera by the Internationale lettriste and Mouvement international
pour un Bauhaus imaginiste groups, both precursors to I.S. A number of documents by Spur, a German faction of I.S., record
the internal tensions within I.S. that would eventually disintegrate the movement.
The archive is arranged in chronological order.
