An Informal History of Advertising David Wojdyla has amassed an extensive collection of advertising ephemera.

Since 1997, he's been sharing that material—old ads, industry articles, biographies and behind-the-scenes stories—in an internal newsletter, "An Informal History of Advertising."

It's his attempt to share what he's learned from 20 years in the business. And show the enduring values that constitute good ads. Appropriately, the newsletter itself has won multiple awards.
