Ephemera Collections Ephemera are free or inexpensive printed materials that were never intended to last, such as menus, playbills, train tickets, zines, postcards, and much more. Ephemera can be of great value to researchers, and CC Special Collections began a concerted effort to collect in this area beginning in about 2001. |
