PUBLICATIONS PMSS Ephemera Guide (By Date When Known)
The ephemeral publications produced by Pine Mountain Settlement School are many and diverse. During the Boarding School days, many publications and ephemera materials were printed in the campus print shop as part of student industrial training. In the earlier years, printing was farmed out to commercial companies, such as Holmes Press of Philadelphia and Marchbank. Following the end of the Boarding School in 1949, printing was again turned over to commercial printers or was another mechanical form of printing, or similar in-house methods.
EPHEMERAL PUBLICATIONS are one-time publications that are not necessarily associated with similar printed materials but generally stand alone. The International Council of Archives’ Dictionary of Archival Terminology, simply defines ephemera as: “Informal documents of transitory value, sometimes preserved as samples. or specimens.”
This series is arranged by year and then by publication. If a publication is repeatedly reproduced, as in a series, it is given its heading and is not included in the ephemeral collections.
