It’s always fun to watch some vintage ads to see how advertising has evolved over the years. Commercials from American Express, IBM and Schick are just some of the companies whose ads from the 1950’s – 1970’s are in the archive. They are free downloads through iTunes and are part of the Duke University Library collection. You can see a full list of them here.
In addition to the TV ads, there is also an archive of vintage print ads from the US and Canada which is part of a separate collection and can be seen here.
