The ephemera project

The Ephemera Project is a crowd sourced archive of the people we love and the objects that hold us together. It is evolving into a powerful collaboration based in memory, self-reflection, and vulnerability. There are notes from loved ones and objects that signify time passing - such as the broken watches of passed away family members, the baby teeth of grown children, moments in history, mementos of a vacation and a subway ride. Simple reminders of people we love and homages to life experience. I am looking for your participation. I would like this project to be inclusive: I welcome objects and stories as diverse as we are. I encourage any age group and people to participate from all over the world.

There is no fee to participate. More information here.
