This subseries contains some of the earliest business records in the
collection, including material from several nineteenth-century publishers who
were subsequently acquired by the John Church Company, Oliver Ditson Company,
or Theodore Presser Company. Materials primarily consist of copyright documents
or other legal records. This subseries also holds catalogs from several
twentieth-century publishing companies that were likely collected by Presser
Company staff. It is noted at the folder level when the file consists only of a
catalog or catalogs. |
