Revised. “Paper on the Press” is less than two DAYS! away, but a few panels still need conference goers to file brief write-ups for this website. Will you help? Please review the remaining events and volunteer.

The upcoming APHA/Friends of Dard Hunter conference is nearly filled to capacity. As was done for the 2013 conference, this website will recap the presentations, demos, and tours.

A transcript of Roger Stoddard’s remarks from his acceptance, of APHA’s 2014 Individual Achievement Award, at the January Annual Meeting, have been added to his award page.  

The 2014 APHA Awards Committee names Roger Stoddard as the recipient of the Individual Award and David R. Godine, Inc. as the recipient of the institutional award. Both awards are intended to recognize “a distinguished contribution to the study, recording, preservation, or dissemination of printing history, in any specific area or in general terms.”
