The American Printing History Association is pleased to announce Sam Regal as the new editor of Printing History. She is the Instruction and Exhibitions Librarian in Special Collections and Archives at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where she develops experiential learning modalities designed to connect her community with print and book history.

Sam Regal holds an MLIS with a specialization in rare books and visual culture from UCLA, an MFA in poetry from Hunter College, and a BA in English and American literature from NYU. Her writing has most recently appeared in or is forthcoming from Parenthesis, RBM, East of Borneo, Art Documentation, and Women Talk Money: Breaking the Taboo (Simon & Schuster, 2022). She previously served as a librarian at the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) and as project manager of California Rare Book School (CalRBS). She cultivates community-engaged zine and bookmaking practices. 

We look forward to her taking the helm of Printing History NS 36 to be published Winter 2025. Meanwhile Printing History NS 35, under the guest editorship of Aaron Pratt and Brittany Washington, is in production.
