Press Ephemera Collection

Abstract

The collection contains material on private and specialty presses, dating primarily from the 1980s to the present. Many items in the collection are prospectuses and offerings of new books by the presses. The items are often specially printed on unusual and handmade papers or with special printing techniques. The Press Ephemera Collection is intended as a supplement to published works held in MU Libraries. Examples can be found by searching MERLIN using the name of the press as the author.
