Ephemera Links


Centre for Ephemera Studies
The Centre – the first of its kind in the world – is housed in and administered by the Department of Typography & Graphic Communication of the University of Reading. Formal approval for the Centre was granted in 1992, and it was inaugurated by Lord Briggs in May 1993. Asa Briggs, a distinguished social and cultural historian and committed ephemerist, has long been an advocate of the study of ephemera and agreed to become the Centre's first Patron.
