This collection, donated by Emeritus Politics & Government Professor Robert Bradley, showcases buttons and pins distributed for political campaigns in the last few decades.
Dr. Bradley attended previous national political conventions, allowing him to receive wonderful examples of political buttons and pins. At these conventions, lobbyists, news organizations, and other political groups also give buttons and small trinkets to showcase their influence.
Take a look at the pages below and check out examples of political communication used through button making.
Also, please go to ISU’s Redbird Voter Guide page for more information about voting on campus and in the community.
