Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 1936, Ray Nash (1905-1982), an American graphic-arts historian and calligraphy expert, established a hand press in the Baker Library, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire. The Graphic Arts Workshop, as it was called then, with the imprint of The Baker Library Press, ran for some 25 years. Teaching, instruction and discussion were all part of the print programme. In 1989, three Nash students - Mark Lansburgh, Roderick D. Stinehour, and Edward Connery Lathem - re-established the Workshop. This initiative was aided by the kindness of the Kenneth and Harle Montgomery Endowment that not only provided funding to re-establish the workshop in the Baker Library but also the support for a Fellow in the Book Arts. Today the Workshop provides students with access to a letterpress studio and a bookbinding studio. There they can mix inks, create posters and cards, and learn how to set type and bind a book. In the spirit of Nash and his students, the Workshop is open to all Dartmouth students and the Dartmouth community after they complete an orientation session.
In 2015, Dartmouth College celebrated the Workshop’s 25th Anniversary with an exhibition entitled: ‘The Secret Revealed. The Books Arts Workshop at 25 Years’. This exhibition showcased a selection of print and book arts materials produced by students and staff at Dartmouth over the years. To celebrate the University of Otago’s association with Dartmouth College through the Matariki Network*, this exhibition highlights a small selection of materials borrowed from Dartmouth’s Books Arts Workshop and Rauner Special Collections Library. Please enjoy.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Stephen Harvard was a book designer, illustrator, calligrapher, letter-cutter, and at one time, Vice-President of The Stinehour Press (founded by Dartmouth alum, Roderick Stinehour). He was schooled by Ray Nash. Harvard also designed digital types for Adobe. His interest in print and press history, the alphabet and lettering, and the notion that printers like to expound their art to children led to this delightful new version of the old classic <em>Jack and the Bean-Stalk</em>. Harvard used the edition printed by Boston type-founder T.H. Carter in 1837 as his exemplar. This item is usually housed at the Baker Library, Dartmouth.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 1977 the Kenneth and Harle Montgomery Endowment was established at Dartmouth to ‘provide for the advancement of the academic realm of the college…making possible new dimensions for, as well as extraordinary enrichments to, the educational experience.’ In 1990 their generosity extended to the Book Arts, funding the first Fellow - ‘Rocky’ Stinehour. The Endowment assisted in other ways: American historian Bernard Bailyn’s book on teaching and writing history was supported by the Montgomery Endowment. Printed at the Stinehour Press, this work was designed and edited by Dartmouth’s Edward C. Lathem. Kenneth F. Montgomery was a 1925 Dartmouth College graduate.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Robert Metzler, a stalwart at the Dartmouth Book Arts Workshop and a devotee of letterpress printing, was given his first printing press at the age of 10. Metzler was hired by Rocky Stinehour to teach letterpress printing, and like the best instructors, he begins each class with the question: ‘What do you want to print?’

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 1936, Ray Nash (1905-1982), an American graphic-arts historian and calligraphy expert, established a hand press in the Baker Library, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire. The Graphic Arts Workshop, as it was called then, with the imprint of The Baker Library Press, ran for some 25 years. Teaching, instruction and discussion were all part of the print programme. In 1989, three Nash students - Mark Lansburgh, Roderick D. Stinehour, and Edward Connery Lathem - re-established the Workshop. This initiative was aided by the kindness of the Kenneth and Harle Montgomery Endowment that not only provided funding to re-establish the workshop in the Baker Library but also the support for a Fellow in the Book Arts. Today the Workshop provides students with access to a letterpress studio and a bookbinding studio. There they can mix inks, create posters and cards, and learn how to set type and bind a book. In the spirit of Nash and his students, the Workshop is open to all Dartmouth students and the Dartmouth community after they complete an orientation session.
In 2015, Dartmouth College celebrated the Workshop’s 25th Anniversary with an exhibition entitled: ‘The Secret Revealed. The Books Arts Workshop at 25 Years’. This exhibition showcased a selection of print and book arts materials produced by students and staff at Dartmouth over the years.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Ran Zhuo’s work was inspired by Masamune Shirow’s original manga, <em>Ghost in the Shell</em>. She used images and text from the adapted movies <em>Ghost in the Shell</em> and <em>Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence</em>, which tells the story of cyborg detective, Batou, and his quest to retain what is left of his ‘humanness’. A double major in Economics and Mathematics with a ‘strong interest in Computer Science’, Ran incorporated common programming symbols in the text. Her work, she has said, is meant to question ‘what makes a human, human’. Produced using a combination of letterpress, digital, and pressure printing, Ran won the 2015 Book Arts Grand Prize.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
‘I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music.’ So wrote George Eliot in <em>The Mill on the Floss</em> (1860). Eliot is one of Amanda Carye’s favourite authors. In 2007 she printed the text on paper, cut it up and placed it on thicker card. She then arranged the text in an accordion style binding, hinging each component with paper. The creation of the box was learnt in the Book Arts Workshop. This ‘out of the box’ creation, a perfect combination of letterpress and bookbinding, gained an ‘Honorable Mention’ in the Book Arts Awards, 2007.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Using wooden type acquired by Dartmouth in 2005, Won K. Chung has done a superb job of printing the various faces to form a very useful type specimen book. The printing was done on a Vandercook SP20 proof press using Mohawk Superfine paper. Printing wooden type involves more inking and a great deal of pressure to get the right impression; the imperfections of such pieces are wonderful by-products. In printing this work Chung had advice from Bob Metzler, his colleague at Dartmouth.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Taking part in the Book Arts Programme at Dartmouth enabled History and Studio Art student, Do-Hee Kim, ‘to gain more experience with typography and design’ and ‘enhance [her] liberal arts education’. She printed three of Jack Gilbert’s poems on the Vandercook press. The American’s work appealed to Do-Hee’s romantic side; she describes his poetry as ‘painfully emotional’ but still ‘relatable’ and ‘accessible’. Gilbert (1925-2012) had a long career, mostly as an ex-patriate living in Europe. He gained a strong following, even though he was off the ‘literary radar’. The poem ‘Married’ may have been written after Gilbert’s Japanese wife, Michiko Nogami, died of cancer. Do-Hee Kim is now an established graphic designer in San Francisco.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Christina Rossetti (1830-1894), an English-born poet of Italian descent, was well versed in the works of Dante and Petrarch. It is no surprise then that Christina wrote prose and poetry, beginning when quite young. Patricia Stone was never a student at Dartmouth, but the Book Arts Workshop allows members of the community to make use of the studio free of charge. Patricia’s version of Rossetti’s <em>An Apple Gathering</em> (first published in 1862) was printed in a class taught by Won K. Chung. The text is printed in Caslon Old Style type, with an appropriate apple green cover and some apple green ink. Her work won the Community Prize in 2014. This copy is number 9 of 20.

A summary of the resource.
While at Dartmouth College, Amelia Raether studied International Relations and Government. It was only after graduation, while working in a job on campus, that she became involved in the Book Arts Programme. Amelia produced several pieces in the Workshop, starting off small with postcards and posters. Her version of the <em>Hippocratic Oath </em>was inspired by her peers’ medical school endeavours. She wanted to make a gift for them and remind them ‘of the role and responsibilities they’ve accepted as physicians’. Since leaving Dartmouth, Amelia has moved to Washington DC and works in management consulting.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 1936, Ray Nash (1905-1982), an American graphic-arts historian and calligraphy expert, established a hand press in the Baker Library, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire. The Graphic Arts Workshop, as it was called then, with the imprint of The Baker Library Press, ran for some 25 years. Teaching, instruction and discussion were all part of the print programme. In 1989, three Nash students - Mark Lansburgh, Roderick D. Stinehour, and Edward Connery Lathem - re-established the Workshop. This initiative was aided by the kindness of the Kenneth and Harle Montgomery Endowment that not only provided funding to re-establish the workshop in the Baker Library but also the support for a Fellow in the Book Arts. Today the Workshop provides students with access to a letterpress studio and a bookbinding studio. There they can mix inks, create posters and cards, and learn how to set type and bind a book. In the spirit of Nash and his students, the Workshop is open to all Dartmouth students and the Dartmouth community after they complete an orientation session.
In 2015, Dartmouth College celebrated the Workshop’s 25th Anniversary with an exhibition entitled: ‘The Secret Revealed. The Books Arts Workshop at 25 Years’. This exhibition showcased a selection of print and book arts materials produced by students and staff at Dartmouth over the years. To celebrate the University of Otago’s association with Dartmouth College through the Matariki Network*, this exhibition highlights a small selection of materials borrowed from Dartmouth’s Books Arts Workshop and Rauner Special Collections Library. Please enjoy.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Aeroplanes, clouds, and hail feature in this broadside of Italian phrases printed as a collaborative exercise by students in an Italian III class at Dartmouth in 2014. The students thought that by setting the type, and by touching the letters and words, they could learn the language in a more tactile way.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Boston-born Taylor R. Campbell was obviously intrigued by the now cult 1967 British television show <em>The Prisoner</em>, starring Patrick McGoohan. His colourfully bound, printed, and illustrated <em>Resigned</em> contains dialogue between Number Six (McGoohan) and Number Two, the Village administrator acting as a monitoring agent for an unseen ‘Number One’. Campbell won the 2012 Book Arts Grand Prize of $500 for this work, a mix of polymer plate printing and traditional letterpress.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Carly Schnitzler enrolled in the Book Arts Programme after being introduced to Sarah Smith and letterpress printing through an English course at Dartmouth. In her own words she explains the inspiration behind her work,<em> Vwls</em>: ‘Christian Bok is a Toronto-based conceptual poet and his collection, <em>Eunoia</em> is a very conceptually rigid exploration of English-language vowels. I wanted to flip his concept on its head by physically removing the vowels from each of the first five lines of his five vowel-specific poems, creating a constellation of holes where the most operative letters in words used to be.’ This piece is a combination of pressure and letterpress printing; and the vowels were removed with a Japanese screw punch tool – a laborious process but impressive looking!

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In a letterpress orientation workshop earlier this year, each workshop participant set a few lines of type which were then combined to make up broadsheet pieces. This is a ‘sampler’ of typefaces and decorative rules and no doubt the participants learned valuable lessons regarding spacing and justification of type while setting them out.
