APHA ANNOUNCES 2005 FELLOWSHIP IN PRINTING HISTORY New York, 15 September 2004: The American Printing History Association (APHA) is delighted to announce a new fellowship award for the study of printing history. For 2005, an award of up to $2,000 is available for research in any area of the history of printing in all its forms, including all the arts and technologies relevant to printing, the book arts, and letter forms. Applications are especially welcome from those working in the area of American printing history, but the subject of research has no geographical or chronological limitations, and may be national or regional in scope, biographical, analytical, technical, or bibliographical in nature. Printing history-related study with a recognized printer or book artist may also be supported. The fellowship can be used to pay for travel, living, and other expenses. APHA fellowships are open to individuals of any nationality. Applicants need not be academics and an advanced degree is not required. Previous APHA Fellowship recipients have included Susanna Ashton for work on African-American printer, publisher, editor and poet William Stanley Braithwaite in 2004, and John A. Lane for work on the type specimens of the Voskens/Maapa Foundry in 2003. APHA wishes to thank the private donor who has funded the Fellowship in Printing History for these three years. Applicants are asked to submit an application form, a résumé, and a one-page proposal. Two confidential letters of recommendation specific to this fellowship should be sent separately by the recommenders. Submission of materials by electronic mail or fax is not acceptable. The deadline for receipt of applications and letters of support is 10 December 2004. An announcement of the award will be made at the APHA annual meeting, to take place in New York on 29 January 2005. An application form is available at the APHA website, www.printinghistory.org.
