One of the highlights of the ALBA archives in NYU's Tamiment Library is the collection of a couple of hundred original Spanish Civil War posters, many of them brought back from Spain from the returning volunteers in the Abraham Lincoln Brigade.
A big piece of the history of Spain and of Spain-US relations can be found on the 10th floor of NYU’s main library, on Washington Square South. The Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives (ALBA), housed within NYU’s Tamiment Library and Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives, is the most important collection of documents, images and artifacts in the world that chronicles the lives of the almost 3,000 American men and women who, between 1936 and 1939, volunteered to go to Spain to fight fascism.
