Description Poster that commemorates the CENTENNIAL PERMANENT PAPER BILL H.B 162 CENTENNIAL PERMANENT PAPER BILL during the 1996 GENERAL SESSION, STATE OF UTAH, Sponsor: R. Mont Evans, to help make state agencies aware of the legislation, the Utah State Archives collaborated with the University of Utah to produce a unique poster commemorating the law's passage as a means of educating people concerning the benefits of using alkaline paper. Noted graphic designer McRay Magleby and his team (Norm Darais, editor; Jonathan Skousen, typographer; Rory Robinson, silkscreener) were awarded the commission, and produced a stunning limited edition silkscreened work. The first copy of the poster was presented to John Carlin, Archivist of the United States, during the annual Conference of Intermountain Archivists held in Salt Lake City in June, 1996. Copies of this poster are now available for sale to the general public. Capitalizing on Utah's experience, the 37 states still lacking legislation supporting the national permanent paper law may want to consider employing a similar strategy. Lacking the organizational structure of a formal statewide preservation program, Utah's measure was accomplished informally with the cooperation of two preservation professionals, the directors of the state's library, archives and history programs, and the good will and effort of a few concerned citizens. The permanent paper poster shows 16th century woodcuts illustrating early hand papermaking, silk-screened in tan and black, and surrounding a block of text that says: Preserve our print heritage. The tradition of permanent papermaking flourishes. Fine, acid-free (alkaline) paper is commercially available in a wide array of grades, weights, and colors from all paper distributors and copy centers. Insist on permanent, acid-free paper for all your correspondence, photocopying, and printing needs. When compared with acidic paper, alkaline paper costs no more, lasts up to ten times longer, and is more environmentally friendly. So make sure your paper is worthy of your words. Always ask for acid-free.
