Archives After Hours - Ephemera in the Archives

Step behind the scenes and into the stacks for our final Archives After Hours of the year at Handley Library!

Join us after hours for an exclusive tour of the Archives and a special presentation on ephemera - those fleeting, everyday items like programs, tickets, and broadsides that were never meant to last, but somehow did. These pieces may seem ordinary, but they hold extraordinary stories and insights into our past.

Discover how ephemera can enrich your research, reveal forgotten moments, and connect us to the lives of those who came before. You’ll get to view rare examples from our own collections and learn how to explore these treasures yourself.

Registration is required for this event (ages 12+). Don’t miss this chance to explore history in a way you’ve never seen before. For more information, contact the Archives at (540) 662-9041 Ext. 17.
