West responded to a request from the Macmillan Company of Canada to excerpt from...

Ahmed Ali and British Printers: Natalie Wang reflects on her Winter-Summer 2022 CESTA internship with MAPP, Stanford University
This past year, I worked with Dr. Alice Staveley to append metadata to documents and archival holdings collected from The Hogarth Press. We catalogued information about the date, content descriptions, addresses of both creators and recipients, alongside others. Courtesy...
During the month of June, as Mapp's project archivist I was given the unique opportunity to visit and work with staff at the Harry Ransom Centre (HRC) in Texas, this is quite a rare experience for an archivist; we often work behind the scenes, travelling about in time, rather than locations!
We at MAPP are a collaborative team and it's very important for us to share and exchange knowledge between...

Day 2 featured the Feminist Infrastructures: Women in Transatlantic Publishing 1900-1950 conference. We began with a warm welcome from HRC director Stephen Enniss, followed by a MAPP-led roundtable.

‘I regret that all the trouble I have taken in this work for the Hogarth Press has not been compensated by an equal amount of satisfaction’ (Clara Walker, née Woolf, to her brother Leonard, 9 August 1923)
‘Citation is how we acknowledge our debt to those who came before; those who...

One of the worst feelings as a student is when you realize that no one apart from your professor is ever going to read that meticulously researched, spend-hours-making-the-bibliography-just-right paper you’re so proud of. All those hours of work we are putting into our assignments are basically lost once it is determined that the quality is sufficient for a passing grade – the...
