Event Description

Discovering Democracy: collections of political and cultural ephemera in Australia

Many libraries and archives around the country have collections of political and cultural ephemera, giving all Australians insight into our political history. In this webinar we’ll hear from representatives involved in these collections, explore some of the challenges of digitisation, and make links between seemingly temporary items and the strengthening of a democratic society.
