ISO: 1920s Mimeography Production

From the Contact form:

I’m a researcher trying to figure out how a particular newsletter published in the 1920s was produced. Looking around online, it looks like some kind of mimeography, but I’m not sure. Is there anyone in your network whom I could talk to? I have lots of scans and photos that I can share.

    I’d suggest contacting Rich Dana, a special collections librarian at the University of Iowa Libraries. He’s done research into mimeography and related processes, as well as leading workshops in the practice of those methods.

    I have 2 working mimeograph machines I use in my art practice, have studied the history of stencil duplication, and in my day job in antiquarian books I have studied, handed, and identified stencil duplicated publications from the early-mid 20th century.
