Interior view of a Printers, with staff standing and sitting for the photo. Tables on wheels in the center appear to show pages of type set. A young man 4th from the left appears to have a sword and a baseball(?)mitt, perhaps for fencing. Tanks in the back may provide hot water for use or steam for machines. 2004.075C

Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This is a general collection which holds information about area publishers and printers. In some cases there is also a separate collection of materials related to a firm listed here.

For a list of newspaper and periodical publishers as of the 1890s see the “History of the City of Grand Rapids, Michigan” by Albert Baxter.

The larger percentage of information included in this collection at this time appears to document newspaper publishing. Since this is an open collection, this orientation may change with new additions.
