Module 1: What are primary sources?

Ephemera are generally things that are printed for a specific occasion or purpose and aren’t meant to last after their original use. Examples are: theatre programs, posters for events, ticket stubs, political leaflets, and bumper stickers.
Even though they were originally produced to have a short life span, ephemera that are preserved in archives are still very valuable for learning about the past, because they can provide information about planned cultural and political events.
