Past is Present | The blog of the American Antiquarian Society.

Printers' File Online | Since Isaiah Thomas’s research for his ambitious The History of Printing in America (1810), the Society has held the largest set of data on the early printing trade in what is now the United States. Starting in 1927, Avis Clarke, AAS’s first trained cataloger, compiled a card catalog that came to be known as the Printers’ File during her 43 year tenure here. For many decades, these twenty-five drawers of cards could only be accessed in our reading room, a resource that became known as the Printers’ File. |
