Using the Collection

Ephemera

Finding what you want

Catalogue descriptions for material in the ephemera collection are progressively being added to the Library's catalogue: to find these, add 'Ephemera' to any keyword search. For ephemera relating to the performing arts in Australia (programmes, brochures, publicity information and more), add 'PROMPT' to any catalogue keyword search.

Readers may request to use material in the collection at any time using eCallslips via the Library's catalogue. Manual requests are required for trade catalogues and geographic ephemera at this time.
