Artists' Books in UMD Special Collections

An overview of the artists' book collection found in Literature and Rare Books in Special Collections at the University of Maryland.

Introduction

Politics and printing are a topic that go hand in hand. Historically, printing has served to democratize the spread of information, amplify voices, and support radical change. As such, artists' books can be used as tools to discuss current political issues and engage with our government by means of acts of creation. Listed below are a selection of the artists' books within our collection having to do with U.S. Politics.
