The Story:
In recent years AAS has collected issues of pre-1877 American manuscript periodicals. These mimic printed periodicals in format, containing stories, news, and advertisements. They were produced by individuals, small groups or as an activity of a school or lyceum. Collectively they reveal much about American scribal culture. The Society’s collection now numbers more than sixty titles, including The Kentucky Spy and Porcupine Quill.
