Forthcoming: Pamphleteers!

Pamphleteers! is on-going research into: The Writing and Distribution of Tracts, Pamphlets, Broadsides, Printed Ephemera (and Other Zealousnesses).

The Activities of the Pamphleteers! will be Governed by The Following Rules:

1. Pamphlets (etc) will relate to particular geographies, of path, street, road, junction, station, etc, and will document events occurring within (or through!) particular sites, places, locations, or journeys, relating the events observed, heard (or otherwise witnessed or participated-in), based on durational observations of a few hours, days, weeks, or months.

2. Pamphlets (etc) will be distributed, for free, by hand, in the sites they document or reflect upon. They will not be made widely available digitally (but we reserve the right to archive these digitally, on-line at a later date).

3. Pamphlets (etc) will court
"old world charm", and "new world optimism", and will look lovely (despite being cheaply produced).
