Heavy emphasis is placed on New England printers. The above notwithstanding, there are no exclusive geographical limits. Manuscript material associated with modern presses is generally limited to the New England-New York region. There are a few serials. Also collected are single leaves, broadsides, pamphlets, printers' proofs, and experimental, non-traditional formats.
Manuscripts are as defined in the general manuscript policy statement.
Many of these collections are located at Research Libraries Group members, the New York Public Library's collection being perhaps the finest overall. Lending to and from these libraries provides backup for both their and our research in this area.
