The new exhibit at the Library Company of Philadelphia is
Ephemera at the Library Company of Philadelphia
Remnants of Everyday Life: Historical Ephemera in the Workplace, Street, and Home. I’ll be speaking on the history of scrapbooks at the opening, May 21, 5:45.
Looking forward to speaking on scrapbooks at NYU on 
Thursday, including a conversation with Jenna Freedman, zine librarian extraordinaire. Come! 6:00-8:00 PM at 19 University Place, Room 222. All welcome! Refreshments! And Jane Greenway Carr didn’t even plan it around National Scrapbooking Day!
Scrapbook makers borrowed and imitated other forms of 19th century media to give their works authority. Read the rest of “Imitation Is the Sincerest Form of Appropriation” here.
