A selection of COVID-19 ephemera already collected

The Library is currently collecting printed ephemera that has appeared in letterboxes and local neighbourhoods – like flyers, information notices and leaflets – in response to COVID-19.

 

Content from remote and regional Australia is of particular interest, along with content in languages other than English.

 

Ephemera captures important moments in our nation’s history, but can disappear quickly after an event. With your help, we can ensure it is kept as a record of everyday experiences from a time that’s anything but ordinary.

Items can be mailed to the postal address below:
