ATA Presents a Special Program

"What does Ephemera have to do with Philately?"

Tuesday, November 12, 7:00 p.m. Eastern via Zoom

You are invited to join Kurt Sanftleben (San-flay-ben) of Paper Americana for a program on adding original source material, ephemera and postal history to your topical collection and/or thematic exhibit.

Kurt holds a doctorate from the College of William and Mary with a concentration in higher education and a cognate in business. He has retired twice, the first time as an Army officer in 1994 and the second time in 2012 as the civilian Director of the Marine Corps Research Center in Quantico, Virginia. He and his wife, Gail, have been selling antiquarian paper Americana to include books, documents, correspondence, photographs, postal history, and ephemera as a hobby since 1998. He is also the author of The Ephemera Corner, a regular article in each issue of La Posta: the Journal of American Postal History.
