Series II: LOOSE EPHEMERA Scope and Contents note Series II: Loose Ephemera is arranaged using the same basic organization system as Series I: Scrapbooks. Most items in this series were once housed inside the scrapbooks, and were removed for preservation or exhibition reasons. Additional material has been added to these files since Landauer's death; it is no longer easy to know what ephemera items originated in Landauer's own collection. Some items have roman numerals written on the verso in pencil - these numbers correspond to Landauer's original scrapbook numbers and are written in her hand. Other material may have one of several stamps that Landauer used to identify her collection. Within the general scrapbook-based subject organization, files have been further broken down by type of product, manufacturer, or geographical location where appropriate. For ease of access, and to best utilize Landauer's filing system, all loose ephemera (i.e. not pasted in a scrapbook) not found in Series III-VII is housed in Series II. This series is organized into subseries by size. Researchers are advised to consult all three subseries in search of their topics of interest. Subseries I: Small Ephemera (usually less than 9 x 12 inches) is housed upright in file boxes. Subseries II: Medium Ephemera (between 9 x 12 inches and 14 x 18 inches) is housed flat in boxes. Some material in this subseries was originally pasted into scrapbooks. Subseries III: Large Ephemera is housed in flat files. Most of this material had previously been called (by Landauer and N-YHS staff) "posters."
