Experience all aspects of the history of printing in Special Collections and College Archives.
海角社区's collections of Fine Printing, Artist's Books, and Rare Books thoroughly document the development of printing and book design and provide fine examples of typography, papermaking, bookbinding, and illustration.
Through the Lawrence Clark Powell '28 and Fay Shoemaker Powell '32 Endowment Fund for the Book Arts, created for the College in the 1980s, courses in letterpress printing, papermaking and artist's books are offered by Jocelyn Webb Pedersen, Coordinator of the Book Arts and History of Print Cultures Program in the Core Program.
The Lowercase Printshop, home to the Tiger Press and letterpress printing classes is open. The Lowercase is located on the 1st floor of the Library in the old wing. For more information, please contact Jocelyn Pedersen at pedersen@oxy.edu.
