The Robert Opie Collection

Robert Opie (whose parents were Iona and Peter, famous collectors of nursery rhymes) himself collected packaging tins and boxes, and advertisements. The offical online presence of his collection can be found here. His website is essentially a corporate adventure, selling nostalgic items to anyone who wants them.

Ephemera & Paper Collectibles

Ephemera & Paper Collectibles is a good place to look for such things as Playing Cards, Cigar Box Labels, Luggage Labels and Cigarette Packets. There are also sections on Black Americana and Magic. The information lies as much in the illustrations as in any text.

The Ephemera Society

The Ephemera Society preserves and studies 'the minor transient documents of everyday life', an elegant way of saying 'things that most of us throw away.' If you wish, you can also fill in an online form to apply for membership, which brings access to lists of members and their interests, and the quarterly journal, The Ephemerist.
