This project by Duke University has digitized over 7000 advertisements that were printed in newspapers and magazines between 1911 and 1955. They reflect main developments in American society, culture, business and technology.
Produced by Advertising Age, one of the leading advertising trade journals, this site provides an advertising timeline as well as ranking lists for the top ads, campaigns, and jingles.
This reference looks at 500 major marketing and advertising campaigns of the 20th century from a historical perspective and several related initiatives of earlier years that developed the basis for present day advertising.
