HISTORY OF
ORGANIZATION STATEMENT
The Ephemera Society of America, Inc. was established in
1980 as a non-profit organization devoted to furthering the study,
preservation, and appreciation of ephemera and to serve as a link among
collectors, scholars, and dealers. Over
the years the society has sponsored fairs, conferences, symposiums, exhibitions,
and less formal regional meetings. In
addition, the ephemera society maintains an active publications program,
including a quarterly newsletter entitled Ephemera
News (ceased publication), the monthly E-News
newsletter, a Journal containing
substantive articles on ephemera, several monographic studies, posters and
other ephemeral items, and a members only directory. In 1994, the society published a book, Rewards of Merit: Tokens of a Child’s
Progress and a Teacher’s Esteem as an Enduring Aspect of American Religious and
Secular Education, by Patricia Fenn and Alfred P. Malpa. In 2005, to help celebrate the society’s
twenty-fifth birthday, there was a special week long gathering of members in
