Half a Century of Presidential Ads

The American Museum of the Moving Image has a new site: The Living Room Candidate: Presidential Campaign Commercials 1952-2004.

Pick an election year, pick a candidate, and view an ad. Ads are also organized by subject. I found it fun to watch ads, knowing now how the economy actually turned out during each president's term, and knowing the political situations post-elections. There's a lot of hypocrisy revealed by these ads, for many presidents. Fun with politics! *sigh*

Thanks to ResearchBuzz for the link

We at Michigan State University have created a similar website which includes over 300 historical events and additional resources in a new interactive interface.

Users can put videos side by side to compare and contrast ads. We are constantly updating our site and hope to have over 500 photographs clips by March 2005.

Please take a look at our site. We would appreciate your feedback.
