Description
Scope and Contents
The collection contains material on private and specialty presses, dating primarily from the 1980s to the present.

The Press Ephemera Collection is intended as a supplement to published works held in MU Libraries. Examples can be found by searching MERLIN using the name of the press as the author.
Provenance
The materials in this collection were gathered by Special Collections staff, and have been greatly supplemented by a donation from John Marshall White and Melanie White.
