American Printing History Association. Encourages the study of printing history and its related arts and skills, including calligraphy, typefounding, typography, papermaking, bookbinding, illustration, and publishing. APHA is especially, but by no means exclusively, interested in American printing history.
SHARP works in concert with a number of scholarly organizations around the world to encourage the study of book history, broadening our resources and allowing us to share information. As part of this scholarly outreach, many SHARP members serve as liaisons to scholarly organizations. Their role is to facilitate communications between the organizations in a variety of ways. A list of current liaisons is available online.
