DPL: Using Ephemera in Family History Research

8th Floor - McDermott Room, J. Erik Jonnson Central Library 1515 Young Street, Dallas, TX, United States

Ephemera is a fancy word for items that were intended to have a temporary nature, often hand-written and disposable, that have persisted through the years. This could include postcards, ticket stubs, and other items you might find in a scrapbook. Utilizing ephemera can help deepen our family histories, provide visual and/or other context to a location or culture, and make tangible memories we might not have lived ourselves. See real-life examples of how ephemera helped bring a family history story back to life.
