Just a reminder that as we gather pictures of ephemeral items we build up an important and interesting record of thinking about everyday life and the way values are embodied including in ephemeral material. Here are a series of images using the map of Australia, gathered from a number of collections. It is a selection from our archive. We know that most of our collectors will have many more interesting items to contribute to this survey.
