From Wikipedia
Ephemera is transitory written and printed matter not intended to be retained or preserved. The word derives from the Greek, meaning things lasting no more than a day.
Some collectible ephemera are advertising trade cards, airsickness bags, bookmarks, catalogues, greeting cards, letters, pamphlets, postcards, posters, prospectuses, stock certificates, tickets and zines.
///////In short, it is something you'd usually throw away but you decide to collect. Ephemera is a brilliant expression of time it was created in. It is also a priceless visual treasure. I have found some cool books of ephemera collections, say, metro/tube tickets from the 60s til now////////

To me, ephemera many times has some kind of an emotional value. I usually keep things I don't really need because they are a connector between now and the past, and they instantly bring up the situation/person.
