scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: This collection consists of savings bond stamp campaign materials—posters, pamphlets, and brochures—primarily from the late 1950s to the early 1960s, to promote the purchase of savings bonds.  There are also photos and news about publicity events and displays at bond stamp rallies. Many of the savings bond campaign slogans talk about "planning for your future" and "keep freedom in your future."  The scrapbooks provide examples of various savings bond stamp campaigns and some include a poster, volunteer canvasser's guide and chairman's guide promoting each campaign. The collection is arranged into three series—Background Information, Scrapbooks, and Miscellaneous.
