Scope and Contents
Ephemera focused mainly on Asheville, and southern Appalachia. The collection includes tourism publications such as travel guides and brochures, primarily from the 1930s to the 1960s, plus early 20th century maps and sheet music. Also included are pages previously removed from 19th century serials publications, such as Harper's Magazine. These pages were collected for the illustrations rather than the textual content, and publication articles are generally incomplete. Although the original serials were printed without color, certain illustrations have been colorized by previous owners and vendors, and some are included in both original and colorized forms.
Arrangement Note
The materials are arranged by type, and then by journal, geographical location, date, or title, as appropriate.
