Title: What is Ephemera?
Post by: Anne on March 04, 2008, 10:42:09 AM

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephemera

Quote

Ephemera is transitory written and printed matter, not intended to be retained or preserved. The word derives from the Greek, meaning things lasting no more than a day.

Ephemera from the board's point of view covers paper matter but excluding books.
