Biographical Note
The band Poster Children was formed in 1987 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign when Rick Valentin (guitar) and Rose Marshack (bass) met Shannon Drew (drums). Over the next seventeen years the band, under the leadership of Valentin and Marshack, produced eleven different studio recordings of alternative rock, indie rock, punk rock, and post-hardcore rock music including Toreador Squat (1988), Flower Plower (1989), Daisychain Reaction (1991), Tool of the Man (1993), Junior Citizen (1995), RTFM (1997), New World Record (1999), DDD (2000), and No More Songs About Sleep and Fire (2004). The band's "do it yourself" work ethic was reflected in its members' wish to drive their own tour bus, create their own artwork and t-shirt designs, and operate their own record label, 12 Inch Records (also given on some releases as Twelve Inch Records). The band also pioneered the development of several new forms of electronic performance art including enhanced CDs, webcasts, and social-networking blogs, before these technologies were adopted by commericial sound recording companies. In addition, Poster Children also toured internationally in Europe in 1996 to the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Italy, and Denmark. Beginning in the late 1990s Rick and Jim Valentin, Rose Marshack, and Howie Kantoff joined forces to form the band, Salaryman, and released the first of three studio recordings, Salaryman, in 1997, Karoshi (1999), and The Electric Forest (2006). The CD Future Form of Intelligence (2008) was incorrectly attributed to Salaryman by the website allmusic.com .

- Series 2: Audiovisual Recordings and Photographs, 1987-2006
Series 2 consists of photographs and both unpublished and published audiovisual materials in a variety of formats that document the recorded and live creative output of Poster Children, Salaryman, and the 12 Inch Record label recording artists from 1987-2006. Audiovisual recordings include LP (long play) and EP (extended play) albums; cassettes; CDs; long box CDs; interactive CDs; DVDs; fan-made CD-Rs, VHS tapes, Hi-8 video, and CD Master tapes. The commercially released recordings include works by Poster Children, Salaryman, 12 Inch Record label artists such as Hum and compilations in which Poster Children participated. Videos include music videos, interviews, and fan-created concert videos. There is also a movie on DVD and a PSP video game that used Salaryman music. The audiovisual materials are arranged first by format and then by artist. For commercially released recordings, they are then arranged alphabetically by title. Fan-generated materials are arranged chronologically. Rick and Rose solicited and extracted snippets from the fan-material to create their DVD Zero Stars (Live): A DVD Tour Diary.
Photographs include publicity shots and candids and are arranged chronologically. Negatives, if available, are arranged with the corresponding photos. Photos of note include 1988 photos of Rick and Rose playing music together from their earliest days in Allen Hall at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and photos of their 1996-97 Poster Children and Salaryman European tour, which includes stops in Germany.
