Street Literature Printers' Register

This ongoing project is very much a cooperative effort. Edited and compiled by Steve Roud, individual entries have been supplied by: David Atkinson (DA), Steve Gardham (SG), Ian Maxted (IM), Adam MacNaughtan (AM), Barry McKay (BM), John Moulden (JM), Roy Palmer (RP), Steve Roud (SR), Peter Wood (PW), and others.

While Printers are the key players in the street literature trade, this Register includes other people and companies involved. For the purposes of this index, 'Printer' and 'Printing' are used in a generic way to include other roles (eg Publisher, Seller, etc).

There can be little consistency is an index such as this. A great deal of information may be known about one individual, and the resultant entry will therefore be highly summarised. For another person, so little information may be known that the entry is virtually empty. But the index will grow in both breadth and depth. Contributions, corrections, amendments, etc, are welcomed.

The development of this database is supported by the National Folk Music Fund, whose funding is given in memory of Ursula Vaughan Williams.
