Ephemera Archive

Manmade objects that are short-lived (under usual conditions), usually because their design intent is to be inexpensively made and thus affordably bought. Especially cheap publications (e.g., pamphlets, brochures), single-use packaging from packaged goods, and giveaway or throwaway trinkets. 

-Definition of "Ephemera", adapted from Wiktionary

This page is a browsable archive of various pieces of "ephemera" I've collected and scanned over the years. My hope is this collection can provide a useful reference for graphic designers, prop makers, historians, and anyone curious about old throwaway paper.
Note: You're free to use the scans here for reference or to link to them in other blogs, but don't use them commercially, thank you
