Ephemera, pamphlets, and broadsides
Ephemera includes paper items that were originally meant to be discarded after use but have since become collectibles.
This might include pamphlets, tracts, lectures, show tickets, posters, newspapers, ads, scripts for plays, musical scores, or other paper items that were sometimes but more often not, created with archival materials.
Uncommon Works has a variety of these types of memorabilia for sale, dating as far back as the 1800’s.
