Cancer prevention campaigns in Brazil are an important feature of the history of efforts to control this disease. The material produced down through this history offers a rich source of documents that merit the attention of professionals in such areas as education, communication, information, public health, history, and scientific educational outreach. Starting from this premise, I have analyzed education campaign material coming from different fields of knowledge. My notes are the result of a preliminary analysis of campaign posters from the perspective of the history of health education. This research will be further developed.
