This is the lead paragraph from a Press Release by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
Washington, DC—Across the nation, Americans are saving newspapers, posters, buttons, and bumper stickers to commemorate the historic election and inauguration of Barack Obama, America’s first African American president. Anne-Imelda M. Radice, Director of the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), encourages citizen-collectors to make sure that their presidential inauguration collections will be preserved long into the future.
If you have collected any election ephemera (or even if you haven’t) this article gives some great suggestions on how to keep your treasures safe and sound for the next generation. Have a look here.
I’m Tom Murphy and thanks for helping me give Ephemera the encore it deserves.
