I am an undergraduate student currently doing a dissertation project on Vespa advertising from the 1950s - 60s. I was wondering where I could find able archives that might contain relevant examples of advertising, in particular posters? Online archives would be particularly useful. Thanks!

the best place to ask is actual scooter clubs you will find most go back to the early 60s and have an abundance of picture gallery's from there members the oldest one i know of personally was the night owls who were based at lens scooters in shipley west yorkshire i belive one of there members is with either the baildon or shipley scooter club jackripper a member on this site may be of more help as hes ssc
ps i loved going in lens scooters with my uncle when i was a kid its were my love for scooters came from unfortunately lens has long gone but the building still stands and is still in use and ill always know it as lens

Might be worth checking out Scootering mag or their online site . They have a regular features on blasts from the past .
Also their publishers Mortons Media are masters of classic magazines ( both scooters & bikes , Classic Scooterist, Old Bike Mart , CBG, etc ) and probably have an archive of old advertising stuff.
