About Faith in the Press

Images and documents from the Upper Midwest Jewish Archives. Collage by exhibit designer Darren TerpstraFrom calling cards to report cards, letterhead to posters, the business of printing has provided steady work for printing companies for generations. But what if you wanted something printed in Yiddish or Hebrew?

For over six decades, Jewish letterpress printers in Minneapolis and St. Paul used hand-set type and manual presses to produce the reading material that their community needed. Come explore rare documents and objects from the Upper Midwest Jewish Archives that bring this printed history to life.

This exhibit showcases materials from the Upper Midwest Jewish Archives. Faith in the Press is co-curated by Upper Midwest Jewish Archives Archivist Kate Dietrick and Jewish culture scholar Dr. Noam Sienna. Exhibit design and installation by Darren Terpstra, Archives and Special Collections Exhibit Design and Project Specialist. Research support by ASC Student Worker Ryken Farr.
