Immediate Source of Acquisition
The Art Hazelwood Collection of San Francisco Poster Syndicate Political Posters was given to The Bancroft Library by Art
Hazelwood in 2016. Additions were made in 2019.
Organized chronologically by year; arranged within each year by issue date according to data received from collector.
Hazelwood is a central collaborator of the San Francisco Poster Syndicate. From the organization's website: "The San Francisco
Poster Syndicate grew out of the crisis around higher education - student debt and the abuse of adjunct faculty. We create
and screen print original images, continuing the rich history of posters as a form of political messaging. We print the posters
"live" at political actions, exhibitions, and on the street, giving away the work for free in order to target a variety of
current social and economic justice issues. The Poster Syndicate is here to bring art and design to many different people's
movements in hopes that their message can be heard and seen more loudly."
