Wilkes University Archives is excited to announce that thanks to Emma Broda, a Sophomore History major and Women’s and Gender Studies minor, the Helen Farr Sloan Collection of Political Cartoons, 1802-1950, is processed and digitized! Emma is a member of the Honors Program and a News staff writer for the Beacon. Following her time at Wilkes, Emma is interested in continuing her studies in history, specifically interested in American history.

Emma wrote a comprehensive blog post on the history of political cartoons and analyzes some of the specific cartoons featured within the collection. Check it out on our blog website here.
