Description

Summary

The APHA records document the activities of the national organization and its local chapters, and include annual reports, brochures, bylaws, budgets, clippings, correspondence, financial reports, legal documents, lists of officers and members, memoranda, minutes, notes, press releases, programs, and speeches.

The records of the national organization include documentation of annual conferences, annual meetings, awards, the board of directors, bylaws, committees, conferences, finance, meetings, membership, publishing efforts, and special projects. The chapter records are incomplete. There are no records related to the Chesapeake chapter, and with the exception of the New York and Philadelphia chapters, documentation is limited to newsletters and information on the founding of each chapter. The records of the New York Chapter are the most extensive, and include announcements, bylaws, correspondence, financial records, meeting materials and minutes, lists of members and officers, and press releases.

The documentation of APHA is incomplete and haphazard. A filing system was created for existing records in 1981; as a result, most of the organization's early records were organized and preserved in the archives. The lack of a documentation system thereafter has created inconsistency and gaps in coverage of the organization's activities. As a whole, documentation is best for 1974-1988, although presidential records provide some documentation for the late 1990s.

Arrangement

This collection is arranged in 6 series.

Additional processing work was completed student assistants and by Patrick Lawlor Catherine Carson Ricciardi (1994) and (2008-2009, 2013, 2017).

Biographical / Historical

The American Printing History Association (APHA) was founded as the result of a proposal published by Walter Kubelius in his column"The Printing Whirl" in the 1971 issue of "Printing Impressions". Kubelius proposed that an American Printing Historical Society should be founded to foster scholarship and to serve as a forum for the exchange of knowledge. At the time, it was thought that the society should be developed as an American chapter of the Printing Historical Society, which represents all aspects of the printing arts and industry worldwide. Although J. Ben Lieberman pursued this objective, it was ultimately decided that it would be too difficult to fit the new society's aims within those of the larger organization, and APHA was founded as a independent organization in May 1974.

APHA established an organizational structure that would serve its goals. There were four main components - the membership, local chapters, trustees and officers, and committees. APHA wanted to have a broad membership, and with it local chapters to organize ongoing activities. Committees would be used to handle specialized programs, and a national board of trustees and officers would serve to coordinate the local chapters and to pursue national and international projects that could not be handled at the chapter level.

APHA has four main organizational objectives: 1. To encourage the study of printing, especially American printing, in its whole range. 2. To produce and promote publications, exhibitions, conferences, lectures, and other functions so that information is exchanged. 3. To foster the development and maintenance of libraries and museums for the preservation of materials that relate to printing history. 4. To cooperate with others to recognize the central importance of printing to humanity.

Series II: President's Files, 1972-2017

This series consists of files donated by several APHA presidents. As whole, these records are incomplete. The records in the collection document not only the activities of the president and the board of directors, but also the founding of APHA. The records include bylaws, correspondence, minutes, reports, and files on chapters, conferences, membership, and projects. Although Catherine Brody served as a president and vice-president of APHA, the bulk of her files were related to her work as the editor of the APHA newsletter and are filed elsewhere in the collection.


Subseries II.1 J: Ben Lieberman, 1972-1987

J. Ben Lieberman was the founder and first president of APHA. His files include material on the founding and early organization of APHA. These records include bylaws, brochures, clippings, correspondence, legal documents, memoranda, minutes, speeches, and files on the board of directors, chapters, committees, conferences, finances, membership, projects, and publications.

Series V: General Files, 1974-1998

This series contains material that was specifically saved or filed for the APHA archives, but left in unsorted general files. Many of these files appear to have been kept by the secretaries of the board, and the records in these files are roughly chronological in arrangement. The series contains a wide variety of records including announcements, brochures, correspondence, lists of officers, memoranda, minutes, programs, and material related to annual meetings, the board of directors, chapters, committees, conferences, elections, and meetings.
