EPHEMERA  Ephemera is transitory written and printed matter not intended to be retained or preserved. The word derives from the Greek, meaning things lasting no more than a day. Some collectible ephemera here are advertising, airsickness bags, bookmarks, catalogues, letters, pamphlets, prospectuses, stock certificates, tickets and zines. I will include matchbook covers and other paper collectibles here as well. You will find posters on the 'ART' page and Post Cards etc on 'CARDS' pages. Even though these are considered ephemera they are numerous enough to deserve their own pages.      In library and information science, the term ephemera also describes the class of published single-sheet or single page documents which are meant to be thrown away after one use. This classification excludes simple letters and photographs with no printing on them, which are considered manuscripts or typescripts. Large academic and national libraries and museums may collect, organize, and preserve ephemera as history. A particularly large and important example of such an archive is the John Johnson Collection of Printed Ephemera at the Bodleian Library, Oxford		1928 A Social Hygene Booklet For Parents by the Canadian Social Hygene Council $7.50 1928 A Social Hygene Booklet For Parents by the Canadian Social Hygene Council.
