SUMMARY:Freedom on the Press: Build a Broadside
DESCRIPTION:Two hundred and fifty years ago\, the first copies of the 
 Declaration of Independence to be distributed to the public were printed on 
 July 4\, 1776\, as broadsides.\n\nBroadsides\, or single sheets of paper 
 printed on one side\, are a form of printed ephemera\, created for a 
 specific\, limited purpose and generally designed to be discarded after 
 use. These sheets were posted\, publicly distributed\, and sometimes sold. 
 Broadsides were a popular communication tool in early America\, similar to 
 contemporary posters.\n\nCome learn more about broadsides and early 
 American printing through the examination of 18th and 19th-century (and 
 some contemporary) American ephemera from the University of Pittsburgh 
 Library System’s Archives & Special Collections.\n\nExplore themes of 
 freedom and democracy in print and then get hands-on as you typeset and 
 print your own broadside in the Text & conText Lab!\n\nRegistration 
 required. Register here today:
