WELCOME!
Presented by the Ephemera Society of America and produced and managed by Sanford L. Smith + Associates, the 45th Annual Ephemera Fair is a celebration of history, culture, and design in its most tangible form. This event brings together leading ephemera dealers from around the country, offering a remarkable selection of printed and handwritten materials that capture moments in time.
From vintage posters and rare manuscripts to advertising, photography, and unique paper artifacts, ephemera offers an intimate connection to the past. Whether you are a seasoned collector, a researcher, or simply intrigued by the beauty of these historical fragments, you’ll find an extraordinary array of materials to discover.
This catalog serves as your guide to the dealers participating in this year’s fair. We invite you to explore, connect, and immerse yourself in the fascinating world of ephemera—where every piece has a story to tell.
