The Cary Graphic Arts Press is the publication arm of the Melbert B. Cary, Jr. Graphic Arts Collection at Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York. The collection is a renowned resource for those studying printing history, bookbinding, typography, papermaking, calligraphy, and book illustration processes. Since the Cary Collection’s inception in 1969, occasional publications have appeared, inspired by its holdings. Strong scholarship and editorial direction, elegant design, and fine printing have characterized these publications, which are usually historical in context. With the formal establishment of the Cary Graphic Arts Press, we hope to carry on these high standards with increasing regularity. Though we will continue to produce high-quality letterpress and offset publications, one aspect of our expanded mission is to explore digital technologies and to branch into electronically generated content. In this way, the latest information delivery system will be infused with the best historic ideals—a combination that fosters an optimal educational experience. © 2001 Cary Graphic Arts Press, Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, N.Y.
