The New-York Historical Society’s museum collection includes hundreds of artifacts related to presidential campaigns. Presidents and presidential candidates represented include John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, Abraham Lincoln, Grover Cleveland, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, FDR, Wendell Wilkie, Dwight D.

Among the highlights included in this gift is a deck of playing cards adorned with messages such as “Women’s rights are no joke,” the t-shirt designed for the campaign by Joseph Altuzurra, a New York-based fashion designer, and the campaign throw pillow reminiscent of early American women’s needlework samplers. Altuzurra, along with Marc Jacobs and Tori Burch, was one of several New York City designers who created t-shirts to raise money for the Clinton campaign.
