50th Anniversary Booklet

The Ephemera Society has a rich history, inextricably linked to the growing appreciation by scholars and amateurs alike of these compelling ‘minor transient documents of everyday life’. Our founder, Maurice Rickards, was a visionary. The early members were pioneers, tireless in their efforts to promote ephemera. Here Julie Anne Lambert tells the story of the creation and development of the Ephemera Society. There is much more to tell, of course. If you have memories of the Society, or of specific events, we would love to hear from you.
