# Made in Czechoslovakia
[Czechoslovakia][1]{: target="_blank"} may have finished on December 31,
1992, but the name still bears credibility in the world of film,
architecture and applied art. Products, buildings and various ephemera
created in the former Central European country between its establishment
in 1918 until its demise in the early nineties can be seen in the
budding [online archive][2]{: target="_blank"} of this era.
Divided in various categories -- be it advertising, posters,
photography, fashion or matchbox labels, the archive presents a
noteworthy compendium of visual stimuli remarkable not only for their
sentimental value but also its prevailing aesthetic qualities. Whether
you are into **Meopta cameras, cubist architecture, socialist realist
propaganda posters** or **bakelite table lamps**, this is the place to
start to investigate. The archive is open to user submissions, so if you
have some visual treasures from this period, you can make it become a
part of the archive.
And here is something for those interested in the music officially made
in the former Czechoslovakia.
