This collection is made up of printer's ephemera sent to Special Collections and Archives by private presses through the years and continuing. It is comprised of, among other things, prospectuses, samples, job work, posters, keepsakes, announcements, correspondence, and greeting cards. The collection is organized alphabetically by press. “See also” notes are utilized in file names to help navigate individuals versus the presses they work with. Press files that include an artist’s personal works, or their other unaffiliated works, include the artist’s name in the title. Prospectuses [prospecti] and announcements of books that are cataloged in Special Collections are noted with call numbers in ‘related materials.’ Presses with other manuscript collections at Iowa have also been noted. Many presses also have cataloged ephemera not listed here in this finding aid, searchable in Infohawk+. Private printing is a small community, so there is additionally a considerable amount of overlap, with book and type artists opening, closing, and moving between countless presses. This collection also includes files of ephemera from social clubs, printed not by those clubs but by miscellaneous local private presses. This finding aid is currently under construction.
