Ten Great Ephemera Blogs

Since launching the ephemera blog in 2004, I've enjoyed reading a number of ephemera-related blogs. Today, I'm highlighting 10 great blogs that serve this niche (in no particular order).

• Growabrian
• PCL
• PGA Auctions
• Lileks
• Coudal Partners
• Do What Now?
• The Practical Archivist
• Ward-O-Matic
• The Comics Curmudgeon
• Boing Boing

(Note: Swaptorium would have been a shoe-in for this list, but the blog is (temporarily?) closed. I hope it comes back soon.)

As I put the list together, I used a fairly liberal definition of what constitutes an "ephemera" blog. Even so, I didn't listed several "book" blogs that I think are excellent, such as Gasp! and Bibliophile Bullpen. And I tried not to picked "vertical" ephemera blogs that cover subject-specific ephemera such as postcard, stamp, or baseball card blogs. At some point, I might develop a list for subject-specific ephemera blogs--there are a number of excellent ones.

I'm sure I've missed some great blogs. Please feel free to leave a comment with a link to those you feel deserve the link love.

Perhaps my blog fits?

Wow! I'm honored to be considered for such a fine list. It's been a while since I've posted some vintage goodness, but never fear -- I got the ol' scanner cranked up and will be posting some fun stuff this week.

Thanks for the mention!
