Wish the link https://printinghistory.org/ was more apparent. I couldn’t find a link for online archives of their history. Members write like https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/I/bo141943649.html which seems specialists enough.

I assume the Rochester Institute of Technology is still the primo place for print technology. Print still important as archive stuff. That makes printers important.

I did a Wikipedia page for APHA which gives a little more background.
