Item description from seller

Cloth, 8vo, 23 cm, 125 pp. From the blurb: "This carefully researched book represents a professional response to the growing interest of scholars, historians and collectors in the preservation of printed ephemera - material that in contemporary society is often regarded as disposable 'junk', but which, put in an historical context, can be very instructive and revealing about social conditions and attitudes. By concentrating on certain major areas of ephemera collections-postal history, pictures of domestic appliances, non- book materials in housing, for example - the author succeeds in providing general guidelines for locating and discusses different methods of organising the materials. This book, which originated in a British library research investigation, will be of particular value to librarians, collectors of ephemera and those wishing to carry out research into collection. " Contents include: Preface; 1 What is ephemera?; 2 General ephemera collections; 3 Postal history;4 Archivists, collectors and historians; 5 Finding pictures of domestic appliances; 6 The organisation of images; 7 Non-book materials in housing; 8 Governments, librarians and pressure groups; 9 Ephemera collections: the particular and the general. APPENDICES: Appendix One: General ephemera collections and sources; Appendix Two: Collections including postal history; Appendix Three: Some collections of greeting cards and postcards; Appendix Four: Subject based referral agencies ; Appendix Five: Sources for pictures of domestic appliances; Appendix Six: Picture collections and relevant organisations; Appendix Seven: Sources of current housing information.
