Greater Grand Rapids publishers, printers and publishing collection
Scope and Contents
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.
