There are 6 archival boxes of “ephemera”, spineless works as [[Benjamin Forster]] has described them, in [[The Frontyard Library]] collection. We estimate that there are about 900 items in the boxes. Benjamin has been through all the boxes, but there's no general knowledge or documentation of what these items are. They have not been fully catalogued. The boxes currently live inside [[the library vitrineLibrary Vitrine]].
On the 27th, September, 2017, a small group at Frontyard kicked off a process to create a catalogue of these ephemera items.
Benjamin made a [[book of the photos taken of the items as part of the cataloguing process at the book fair]].
== Cataloguing sessions ==
You can do some cataloguing any time, but you can also organise to do it together :) We've had a few group sessions so far and it's been really productive and fun.

== Why? ==
== The process ==
We use a Google Form ([http://goo.gl/drZn35 http://goo.gl/drZn35]) to capture the information we want to note down about each ephemera work to be catalogued. For each work we collect:
* the number of the box it came out of (1-6);
* [http://goo.gl/drZn35 The cataloguing form]
* [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ipWHrciUS_b1kYWEJokNGVrDaTJsYS1LfpWY-nX0jag/edit?usp=sharing Spreadsheet with the working catalogue]
