Strathmore Preserved

The Daily Heller reports on the incredible archive of Strathmore Paper that was almost forgotten. 

Mohawk Paper Mills in Cohoes, New York acquired the Strathmore brand in 2005, and their incredible archive came with the acquisition. Yet it was virtually hidden in a Mohawk warehouse until late 2013, when according to Mohawk creative director Chris Harrold, “we finally dug in to the six pallets of material.” Up to that point, the archive had been forgotten and was almost thrown out.

Read more about the history of Stathmore from the Daily Heller to discover the riches of the parallel tracks that both Mohawk and Monotype are following regarding the history of type and paper!
