Digital humanities analysis of some 1,300 Soviet environmental posters, spanning four decades of conservation campaigns in all fifteen republics. Smartly catalogued and tagged, this collection will be an unprecedented tool for studying the evolution, priorities, and aesthetics of Soviet environmental discourse.

I initiated the project as a 2020 summer fellow at the Princeton Center for Digital Humanities, using scans I collected in Russia in 2019. I have continued working with the collection as a side project, which I hope to develop with undergraduate assistants as a postdoctoral fellow or faculty member.
