In 1978, Beatrice Cabot, the widow of Charles Cabot, donated a large collection of posters and programmes, photographs, itineraries and scrapbooks from her husband’s estate to the Alexander Turnbull Library.
From protest posters to propaganda pamphlets, birthday cards to butter wrappers and menus to theatre programmes, the Alexander Turnbull Library’s Ephemera collection provides particular and often unexpected insights into our lives in New Zealand.
Come along to hear about how ephemera can be used by researchers, with particular emphasis on the potential of the Cabot Collection.
