Starting tomorrow, and continuing through the months of May and June, I will be attempting to add a new post every day.

As you may know the May 68 événements actually began on the night of Friday 3 May, 1968. Unsurprisingly there was  no documentation (posters or tracts) from before that day. So over the next 3 days, in a prelude of sorts,  I will be featuring posters from the other side of the conflict, produced by the pro-Gaullist Comites pour la Defense de la Republique.

From 4 May onwards, my plan is to post a tract (and the occasional poster) from the corresponding day – 48 years ago. In this way hopefully you can get some sense of the events as they unfolded. 

If all goes according to plan, by the end of  June there will 3 times as much content on the blog than at present. As I said in my last post my hope is that by the 50th Anniversary in a few years time my entire collection of posters and tracts will documented and translated into English on this blog.

It’s been almost a year since the last flurry of posts on this blog. It’s definitely well past time to make up for the lack of activity. 

Well – with the 48th Anniversary of May 68 coming up next week I’ve decided that I will attempt to post an item a day for May & June. So for the next 2 months expect to see many tracts, posters and other material appearing on a (hopefully) daily basis.

I’ve also set myself the goal of having my entire collection documented in this blog by the time of the 50th Anniversary of the événements. So hopefully the next year will see a new lease of life for this project.
