American Printing History Association records, 1972-2000.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/265034138

The APHA records document the activities of the national organization and its local chapters, and include annual reports, brochures, bylaws, budgets, clippings, correspondence, financial reports, legal documents, lists of officers and members, memoranda, minutes, notes, press releases, programs, and speeches. The records of the national organization include documentation of annual conferences, annual meetings, awards, the board of directors, bylaws, committees, conferences, finance, meetings, membership, publishing efforts, and special projects. The chapter records are incomplete. There are no records related to the Chesapeake chapter, and with the exception of the New York and Philadelphia chapters, documentation is limited to newsletters and information on the founding of each chapter. The records of the New York Chapter are the most extensive, and include announcements, bylaws, correspondence, financial records, meeting materials and minutes, lists of members and officers, and press releases. The documentation of APHA is incomplete and haphazard. A filing system was created for existing records in 1981; as a result, most of the organization's early records were organized and preserved in the archives. The lack of a documentation system thereafter has created inconsistency and gaps in coverage of the organization's activities. As a whole, documentation is best for 1974-1988, although presidential records provide some documentation for the late 1990s.
