What is an ephemera collection? Ephemera are often paper-based, printed items, including menus, ticket stubs, newspapers, postcards, posters, sheet music, stickers, and greeting cards. Ephemera is a term for items that are meant to be used temporarily and then discarded, but have since become collectibles.
Ephemera can be digitised in a number of ways, including:
The Jam Collection: This vast private collection of printed ephemera is being digitised by our company to be made available online. The collection includes posters, documents and high-resolution color images. The collection is a resource for researchers studying the history of this popular music culture.
The Wandsworth Museum: This project digitises source materials related to events and links them together in a digital archive. The project works with local institutions to preserve the heritage of the local communities.
The Kidlington and District Historical Society: This incredible collection of over 60,000 documents, tickets, posters, diskettes was digitised by our company and comprises one of the largest village empherera collections in the UK. This resource will be made available online to preserve and provide researchers valuable historical information dating back to the village's earliest beginnings. https://www.kidlingtonhistory.org.uk/
