Anne Jarvis is explaining how ephemera gives us a "rare and powerful glimpse" into people's lives at that time, and also at how we live today. The fact that they are fragile and were not expected to last makes them all the more important to our understanding to the past and our future. #CONUL25

Anne Jarvis' final theme is Sustainability, pointing out that collections that we create will only be valuable if we keep sustainability in mind. - looking at stock and deciding what is needed, rather than what has always been collected - looking at subject headings - collecting ephemera #CONUL25
