> Brightly colored tourist brochures, train schedules, maps,          political broadsides: items that we use in our daily lives but throw          away once they have fulfilled a discrete utilitarian function... these          items are wonderful sources for exploring "history on the ground," the          interests, attitudes and preoccupations of persons who are “at home” in          a particular society or merely “passing through” as visitors. It is only          quite recently that the richness of this type of material as tools for          cultural study has been widely recognised by libraries, researchers and          collectors alike. Come and find out more about this extraordinarily          fascinating social history resource and how attitudes to it have          changed.
