Originally intended to be of short-term interest only, items such as posters, broadsheets and postcards, are now widely valued by social historians. Our collections which date from the early 19th century also include bookplates, sale and exhibition catalogues, trade and telephone directories, greetings cards and telegrams as well as theatre and concert programmes.
