The gradual move to digital photography also reduced the amount of found photographs.Īfter 25 years of collecting, Michael concluded his collecting after a quarter of a century and stopped gathering material. Previously there had been open-topped bins and plastic bags often torn open by “the ferals” and scattered in every direction before they could be collected. The Council’s move to wheelie bins led to much less rubbish blowing along the street and poorer collecting prospects. None of the items are the result of “bin diving” but were found while walking the streets and lanes of the area. Note that some items of ephemera may include addresses or originate from other places, but all were found within the precisely bounded area in Darlinghurst and Surry Hills. The first four folders were donated in August 2010 and include items which were “found objects” in the streets bounded by William Street in Darlinghurst and Elizabeth Street, Cleveland Street and South Dowling Streets in Surry Hills. This sub-collection of the Community Ephemera Project consists of five ring-binder folders containing ephemera collected by Michael Bogle between 19, when the collector and his family lived in Darlinghurst and Surry Hills. magazine (Periodical publications containing miscellaneous articles or pieces in prose or verse, often with illustrations.) booklet (Non-periodical publications, fastened or bound between 5 and 50 pages.) pamphlet (publications of between 2 and 4 pages, fastened but not bound.) leaflet (single sheets, printed on one or both sides usually for advertising purposes, often folded.)

Exceptions may occur when many items are received for a single category and the box is cleared to make way for more donations. At the conclusion of the calendar year, each category of item is boxed and catalogued. As donations arrive at Archives, they are sorted into categories. Generally, items from one year will have the prefix of the following year. In February 2012, all items catalogued using the previous system were resorted and re-catalogued, leaving some gaps in item numbers. This system was replaced in January 2012 with a category system, based on a thesaurus of terms. Until December 2011, Archivists catalogued items according to geographic location and date of collection. Invitations collected by Laurie Lambert, and originally part of CRS 71, were added to this series in 2010. Some material was donated prior to this date by staff and volunteers, from as early as 2008. The project was officially launched on at the Surry Hills Library. Items are also donated by council staff, volunteers and "community champions" and include such material as posters, flyers, stickers, beer coasters and trade catalogues. Items of ephemera have been donated by the public through collection points at the City Libraries. The intention is to collect materials that reflect the diverse nature of the city's villages which can be used in the future as a resource to understand the changing social contexts of the City. This series contains items from an ongoing collecting initiative called the Community Ephemera Collection, developed by CoSA in conjunction with City Libraries.
