The Lumiere Press Archives

Throughout its history, the press has meticulously preserved an archive of material chronicling the genesis
of each project, providing detailed insight into the concept, design, and craftsmanship of the editions.
The work product of these endeavors encompasses a wide range of artifacts - correspondence, manuscripts,
galleys, design layouts, prototype bindings, offset sheets, production charts, and interviews with such
renown photographers as Aaron Siskind, Frederick Sommer, Gordon Parks, Paul Caponigro,
Edward Burtynsky, Saul Leiter, and Dave Heath.

This material, along with a complete set of Lumiere Press titles, has now been preserved as
The Lumiere Press Archives at The Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library, University of Toronto,
home to the finest collection of rare books in Canada.
