Designed by Mimmo Cozzolino, the Ephemera Journal of Australia is a full colour, visual and text celebration of ephemera.
Featuring articles on historic and contemporary ephemera and collecting areas, the journal is a rich resource for the study of ephemera.
Issue four’s contents are:
- ‘My Mob’ is about Michael Aitken’s kangaroo collection, 10 pages;
- ‘An Australian Icon’ by Dr Annette Shiell about the history of the showbag, 12 pages;
- ‘Social History of the Table’ – Amanda Bede and Jillian Hiscock of the Royal Historical Society of Victoria (RHSV) look at some early Australian menus including menus associated with Federation, 10 pages;
- ‘Send them Plenty of Snaps’ is about photo wallets, 8 pages; and
- ‘Tea Bag Tags’ from the collection of David Harris.

I would like to submit an article on NSW railway tickets as ephemera for consideration. Are there any contributor guidelines? Could i see a sample issue of the journal to see the type of articles that are considered suitable for publication?
