Ephemera are everyday items such as theatre posters and advertising flyers, not produced for sale. Their intrinsic value is in the information they provide about social life, the development of industries (for example, printing or paper making), and the provision of services or aspects of cultural change. Ephemera may be the only printed record of an organisation, event or activity.
