This might be useful with some History Day projects etc., and it forms a nice
contrast to our own WWI and WWII war posters site at
http://digital.lib.umn.edu/warposters/warpost.html
The National Library of Scotland has launched an
online collection of propaganda that was used
during World War II. The collection is divided
into "white propaganda" (they define as "mostly
practical information intended for the Home
Front") and "black propaganda," which targeted
enemy morale.

>From http://www.nls.uk/propaganda/index.html , you
can read an overview of the collection and select
white or black propaganda. Each link selected will
give you a more general overview of the topic as
well as a thumbnails to propaganda images -- not
posters, but rather booklets and postcards in the
case of white propaganda and leaflets in the case
of black propaganda. Clicking on the images brings
larger images and detail pages about the item. The
content of the item itself is not available
online.
The collection is rather small but I found it
interesting as most online collections of this
type tend to focus on posters.
