Broadsides were the first focus of the Coalition, which started in March 2007, when Beau Beausoleil put together a memorial reading, and also called for letterpress printers to create a personal response to the bombing. Kathy Walkup at Mills College in California and later Sarah Bodman at the University of the West of England helped spread the word among printers.
The broadsides project has been touring internationally since 2008, with associated readings and panel discussions. A complete set of the broadsides has been donated to the Iraq National Library in Baghdad.
Florida Atlantic University's digital collection of the "Al-Mutanabbi Street Starts Here" Broadsides is a convenient way to see 133 printed broadsides (the collection presented to Columbia has 141 broadsides). library.fau.edu/depts/spc/jaffecenter/collection/almutanabbi/ index.php
Series consists of 98 numbered broadsides. Broadsides No. 43 and 65 are kept in a larger flat box together with Series III materials. No. 37 is missing.
