This establishment was started in 1973 by Winifred “Winnie” (Gray) Bixler ’69 (RIT Art and Design), and Michael Bixler ’69 (RIT Printing).

The Collection is not a complete repository of everything the Club has produced since 1912.
Hermann Zapf collection
Hermann Zapf was a German type designer, typographer, calligrapher, author, and professor. He influenced type design and modern typography, winning many awards and honors for his work. Of note is Zapf’s work with August Rosenberger, a prominent punchcutter who cut many of Zapf’s designs.
