# Ephemera

In the pages that follow, you will find the correspondence, budgets, grants, readings, and design ideas required to create and collectively run the barter-based initiatives OurGoods.org and TradeSchool.coop from 2009–2019. You will also find excerpts from TRADE SCHOOL: 2009–2019, a book of teaching tools and stories written by TradeSchool.coop organizers in thirty barter-run learning spaces around the world. Woolard has selected ephemera that serves as visual reference points for OurGoods.org and TradeSchool.coop. All materials here are reproduced with the consent of collaborators.
