Print Culture History in Modern America
Wayne A. Wiegand and James P. Danky, editors

This book series is published on behalf of the Center for the History of Print Culture in Modern America, a joint program of the University of Wisconsin–Madison and the Wisconsin Historical Society. The series will foster research and writing on the mediating role that print has played in American culture since 1876. Its scope will encompass studies of newspapers, books of all kinds, periodicals, advertising, and ephemera. Special attention will be given to groups whose gender, race, class, creed, occupation, ethnicity, and sexual orientation (among other factors) have historically placed them on the periphery of power but who have used print sources as one of the few means of expression available to them.

Wayne A. Wiegand was professor of library and information studies at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He is presently the F. William Summers Professor of Library and Information Studies and Professor of American Studies at Florida State University. He is the author of five books, three of which were awarded the G. K. Hall Award for Outstanding Contribution to Library Literature. James P. Danky is assistant librarian for research and development at the Wisconsin Historical Society and a faculty associate at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in journalism and mass communications, library and information studies, and Afro-American studies. He is the author and editor of numerous books and has received the Bowker/Ulrichs Serials Librarianship Award of the American Library Association. Wiegand and Danky are co-editors of the award-winning book Print Culture in a Diverse America.
