Abstract
In September 2011, the RKD—Netherlands Institute for Art History—took the first steps in preparing a modest yet important part of its collection of art ephemera for digitization. This project is still underway. Many art libraries consider digitization a useful tool for enhancing the accessibility of this material, which is frequently difficult to discover. As is often the case at other institutions, ephemera have been the proverbial stepchild within the RKD’s collections. However, with the growing use of the Institute’s resources for the study of modern and contemporary art, the ephemera collection has proven to be of great value for researchers. This article discusses the Digitization of Ephemera 1800–1960 project as a case study within the context of the RKD’s extensive and varied holdings of art ephemera.
