Processing Information

From the Collection:

Between this collection and the Brooklyn Museum Ephemera Collection, there was a large discussion of what constituted ephemera versus a more formal publication. Specifically for exhibition catalogs, most of the early catalogs were folded paper and stapled. In order to prevent separation, as long as the catalog had some kind of checklist and some kind of essay, it was considered a publication.
