Message from Center Director Christine Pawley

Welcome to the website of the Center for the History of Print Culture in Modern America. For over fifteen years the Center has been fostering the interdisciplinary study of print culture in the United States during the period since 1876. Through lectures and colloquia, biennial conferences, and the University of Wisconsin Press series "Print Culture History in Modern America," we encourage scholarly work on the authorship, reading, publication and distribution of print materials of all kinds, produced by those at both the center and the periphery of power in the United States from the late nineteenth century on.
