ephemera

 
   
items relating to a specific event or topic which are designed to last for a very short time, e. g. theatre programmes, pamphlets or newspaper cuttings


‘Libraries have to make room for new books by discarding outdated ephemera, but dumping all older books is a disgrace and a disservice to users. The problem is that deciding what to keep takes more knowledge than many library managers have, so they adopt the motto “when in doubt, chuck it out”.’ [Bristol Evening Post]
