Biography/Administrative History

of letterpress samples and work. It now includes both amateur and professional printers as members and membership is capped
at 150 members.
Scope and Content of Collection
This collection contains ephemera printed by members of the Amalgamated Printers' Association (APA) as well as material printed
at the Wayzgoose, the APA's annual convention. The APA collects samples of members' work on a quarterly basis and distributes
"bundles" of this material to each member on a monthly basis. The bulk of the material here are these bundles.
