What Is Ephemerality?
Ephemera are items produced for temporary use and typically discarded after their function is fulfilled. For example, old tickets, postcards, invitations, advertising brochures, or concert programs are all forms of ephemera.

Why Are They Important?
Ephemera help us understand how people lived in the past, what they enjoyed, and how daily life was conducted. An old brochure or ticket can serve as an important source of historical information.
