Is our history in a drawer, a scrapbook, or a curated collection?

Speaker: Mandy Bede

This talk will focus on a selection of ephemera collections, teasing out the theme of how our history is preserved. Join Mandy Bede, President of the Ephemera Society of Australia, as she shows examples of printed Australian ephemeral material from the sublime to the mundane. Regardless of how these items have been collected and preserved, or by whom, or for whatever reason, they form part of the remarkable commonwealth of documents that record our past.

Housekeeping

This event is part of Rare Book Week and, for those attending both the RHSV event at 12:30pm and the earlier Ephemera Society of Australia event at 11am in our venue, we will be serving refreshments between the two events.

These events are in person only – there is no Zoom and nor are the events recorded.

Presented by: Ephemera Society of Australia
at Royal Historical Society of Victoria, 328 A’Beckett Street, Melbourne

Morning tea will be served immediately following this event.
