Description: Two round paper stickers showing a face made from the motto 'I'm Official Unionist.' These stickers were produced by the Ulster Unionist Party, probably for the 1973 Northern Ireland Assembly election. The degree of fragmentation within unionist politics was such at this time that the Ulster Unionist Party was often referred to as the Official Unionist Party.

National Museums NI holds over a million objects in the collection, as well as this we manage the records and associated images for each object through a working database. The national collection has been almost 200 years in the making, and we recognise that thinking about collecting and collections has evolved over this time and continues to evolve. As a result, some of our records may contain language and views that we now consider offensive and unacceptable, for example, reflecting racist attitudes. We are committed to addressing these issues, and to reviewing and updating our records accordingly. Working with researchers, communities and academic partners we are learning more about the stories behind objects, and we are committed to sharing these with our audiences. We welcome feedback.
