Series 1 is comprised of a sample of materials printed at Pioneer Press. It features a range of their products, including books, posters, printed artwork, event programs, corporate mail solicitations, magazines, and stationery. The press primarily served clients local to their Terra Alta shop, like regional magazines, WVU Athletics, and WV-based corporations. Those local interests are reflected in materials of this series. The series also includes materials related to the press's internal operations, like order forms, correspondence, and advertisements. Along with these items are several pre-printing mock-ups and illustration boards that have symbols and transparent color overlays taped into place, which offer insight into the processes of commercial printing (Box 8).
