Scope and Contents

This collection contains books about photocopy art, books of photocopy art, the International Society of Copier Artists Quarterly, exhibit catalogs, newsletters and magazines about copy art, mail art, and CD-ROM and slide archives, as well as some personal items relating to Louise Neaderland.

Some books and journals that were included in the donation were separated from the collection, since they were included elsewhere in UI Libraries or because no relation to Louise Neaderland or ISCA could be established. For a list of these titles, please see staff in Special Collections.


Historical Note

The International Society of Copier Artists was founded in 1981 by Louise Neaderland to promote the work of copier artists and to work for the recognition of xerographic art as a legitimate art form.
