Have you been handed a pamphlet on the street on in the subway or while traveling that you’ve kept for one reason or another? Because the images were so striking or the message was so compelling? Scan them and send them over to The Pamphlet Collection in one of the following ways:

1. Add them to your Flickr page, tag them with ‘pamphletcollection‘ and then post them in The Pamphlet Collection Photo Pool.
2. Post the images and write about them on your own blog and tag it in del.icio.us. with ‘pamphletcollection‘.
3. Post them on the web and write a comment on the blog linking to the photos.

We’re seeking pamphlets (primarily religious and political, but all are welcome), primarily in English, but if there are really strong graphics or images we’ll take them in other languages—especially if you can help us translate them. We would also LOVE to receive historic pamphlets, i.e. pamphlets of years of centuries past that you have bought or researched or copied for one reason or the other.

What is a pamphlet?
According to UNESCO a pamphlet is a “Non-periodic printed publication of at least 5 but not more than 48 pages exclusive of the cover pages, published in the country and made available to the public.”
