The 19th World Esperanto Congress in Danzig in 1927 in the light of ephemeral prints: A contribution to the issue of ephemera as a historical source

Abstract

This paper is an attempt to synthetically present the value of the ephemera as a source from a historian’s perspective. An example was the collection of ephemera associated with the 29th World Congress of Esperantists (or: Esperanto), hosted in 1927 by Gdańsk (Danzig).
