Series 2. Hill & Dale Private Press and Typefoundry

Containers:
Box 6, Box 7, Box 9
Scope and content:

Series 2 is comprised of books, pamphlets, and other products printed at the Hill & Dale Private Press and Typefoundry (H&D) and some additional related materials. H&D is driven by Hopkins's passion for printing, including letterpress, which is reflected in the kinds of materials printed there. The publications are typically about the history of printing, current trends in the field, or notable workmanship. The series also includes H&D texts that were authored by Hopkins, like Chasing Monotype, and the semi-regular newsletter for the American Typecasting Fellowship. This collection includes a few additional printing-related texts collected by Hopkins, which were included because of how closely they align with H&D projects and the passion Hopkins has for the field that drives his work at H&D. Lastly, Lynda Hopkins's scrapbook regarding West Virginia history is located in this series (Box 9).
