  • SCA maintains many examples of printed materials from the beginning of the hand press era to today. This includes artists’ books by Greg Curnoe, Sara Press, and Damien Hirst, as well as editions of books, newsletters, magazine, and zines printed by small presses. SCA’s book collection has many rare volumes featuring fine binding, including examples from well-known bookbinders such as Joseph Zaehnsdorf and Sangorski & Sutcliffe. In addition, the department holds rare editions and early printings of books produced by private presses like the Strawberry Hill Press, the Kelmscott Press, and the Hogarth Press, as well as hundreds of pulp fiction books in the Lesbian Literature Collection and the bpNichol Library of Science Fiction that reflect the genre’s graphic and colourful art. Also available are the organizational records of records of Dumont Press Graphix that document the radical roots of Kitchener-Waterloo’s typesetting shop in the 1970s and 1980s.
