The Vintage Ad Archive is a freely accessible virtual library and marketplace of rare and historic advertisements. Our mission is to digitize, organize, and analyze vintage advertisements of all types, from advertisers across all industries.
The Vintage Ad Archive aims to be an invaluable tool for researchers, marketers, and the public at large. Vintage advertisements are of significant cultural and anthropological interest, but frequently corporate mergers and bankruptcies leave behind defunct and abandoned corporations and brands, whose advertisements are never to be seen again.
The Vintage Ad Archive accepts well formed submissions to the archive, from advertisers and the general public. Please contact us for information about submitting collections for digitization. We also offer options for vendors of vintage advertisements to sell their advertisements in our online marketplace.
