Historical Note
Maurice Annenberg (1907-1979) was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania. After the untimely death of his mother when Annenberg was a year old, his father moved the family to Baltimore, Maryland. When Annenberg was seven, his father was fatally injured by an automobile. Annenberg was then placed in the Betsy Levy Memorial Home (later the Baltimore Hebrew Orphanage), where he learned the fundamental elements of the printing trade from Sol Emanuel, a hand compositor at the [Baltimore] Sun. He became the foreman of the Sun's printing plant when he was eighteen, having by then completed his formal education. In 1928, he left the Sun to found Maran Printing Company, later founding Maran Plastics, Inc., to manufacture plastic credit cards. In 1929, he married Sophia Morris; the Annenbergs had two children, Barnet (born 1931) and Phyllis (born 1935).
Annenberg served in the National Guard for sixteen years (1929-1945); in 1929, he became a member of the 104th Medical Regiment of the Maryland National Guard. He then served in the U. S. Army Air Force during World War II. In 1942, he was stationed at Middletown Air Depot in Pennsylvania. Afterwards, he served as the executive officer of the Tobyhanna Service Unit Training Base in Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania. In 1946, he was discharged from the military and returned to Baltimore. During Annenberg's time in the military, Maran Printing Company had nearly collapsed, but he was able to revive it.
In 1933, Maran Printing Company began publishing Type Talk, an in-house periodical that was widely distributed in the printing and advertising fields. It featured notable persons in the advertising industry, new type styles, the history of type foundries and fonts, and local businesses. Type Talk was published bimonthly from 1933 until 1989, with a break from 1942 to 1946 while Annenberg was away in the war.
Annenberg was a self-taught scholar of printing history. In 1969, Annenberg published Advertising 3000 B. C. to 1900 A. D., which explores the history of both advertising and printing. After his retirement as president of Maran on January 1, 1973, he devoted more time to writing and research for Type Foundries of America and Their Catalogues, which he privately published in 1975. The book surveys type founding in the United States from its origins in 1768 through 1945. Drawn from type catalogs in thirty-nine collections and libraries, the work also includes histories of active type foundries between 1796 and 1945 with a listing of catalogs for each. The printing of 500 copies quickly sold out and garnered much praise from the typography community.
In 1977, Annenberg published A Typographic Journey Through the "Inland Printer": 1883-1900. The Inland Printer was a monthly periodical about current trends in the printing industry and ideas for augmenting printing techniques. His book covers information on selected typography articles during the period 1883 to 1900, which Annenberg called "The Years of Transition."
Annenberg was also very active in professional associations. He was a charter member of the American Printing Historical Association and a member of the Typophiles, American Printing Society, National Association of Printers, Maryland Historical Society, Bibliographic Society of Canada, Baltimore Bibliophiles, and Typothetae of America, for which he was a board member. An active member of the American Printing History Association, he was given their annual award in 1979 for his Type Foundries of America and Their Catalogues.
In addition to his professional activities, Annenberg was involved in numerous civic and charitable endeavors and belonged to several organizations, among them the North Charles General Hospital in Baltimore, for which he served as trustee; Boy's Town, for which he served as vice-president; and the Baltimore Hebrew Congregation, for which he served as president. He was also a member of the Friends of the Johns Hopkins Libraries; the National Foundation for Ileitis and Colitis, Inc.; the Safety Club; National Council to Control Handguns (NCCH); and on the advisory board to the Baltimore City Jails. Annenberg participated in the Coordinated Community Offender Employment Program (CCOEP), a work-release program aimed at reintegrating prisoners into society after incarceration. Through it, inmates from the Baltimore City Jails were employed by his printing company.
On April 20, 1979, Maurice Annenberg died after a long illness. Active even through illness, he had been working on a book about Henry L. Bullen, the librarian for American Type Founders Company, which he never completed. Annenberg wrote to friends in 1978 that he was going to print a revised version of Type Foundries of America and Their Catalogues, but he was unable to do so before his death. A revised edition was published, with the permission of Sophia Annenberg, in 1994 that included an additional type foundry, new specimen books, an introduction by Stephen Saxe, and an index by Elizabeth K. Lieberman.
Scope and Contents of the Collection
The papers of Maurice Annenberg date from 1883 to 1979, with the bulk of the papers falling between 1960 and 1978. The materials document Annenberg's business activities, scholarly endeavors, and civic involvement. Included are a variety of materials—professional correspondence; type face specimen sheets; catalogs for new type and ornaments; brochures on processes, equipment and associations; and subject files on industry topics. Overlapping this business material is research material, which further includes research correspondence, biographies of key persons in the printing industry, subject files, research for Type Foundries of America and Their Catalogues, serials, and photographs of printing equipment.
Custodial History and Acquisition Information
The papers of Maurice Annenberg were donated to the University of Maryland Libraries by his wife, Sophia Annenberg, in 1979 and 1985.
Processing Information
Processed by Lara D'Agaro, April 2008. Revised by Maureen Cech, September 2009.
The papers were originally processed in 1981 and were divided into four series: I. "Type Design and Production," with the five subseries: 1. "Type faces with text"; 2. "Catalogues and specimen books"; 3. "Ornaments and borders"; 4. "Equipment and techniques"; 5."Articles, speeches and programs"; II. "Correspondence"; III. "Publications"; and IV. "General Topics." The papers had been divided into letter and legal size boxes, creating confusion. The contents of a coherent grouping were housed in two sizes of boxes and map case drawers, according to size.
The papers were reprocessed in 2008 and arranged into seven new series: I. "Correspondence"; II. "Typefaces," broken into two subseries: 1. "Typefaces and ornaments" and 2. "Biographies and histories"; III. "Printing industry topics"; IV. "Personal topics"; V. "Research for Type Foundries of America and Their Catalogues"; VI. "Serials"; and VII. "Photographs." Former subseries "Type faces with text" and "Ornaments and borders" were incorporated into the new subseries "Type face and ornaments." "Catalogues and specimen books" became "Biographies and histories." "Equipment and techniques" and "General Topics" were divided between "Printing industry topics" and "Personal topics" as appropriate. "Publications" was renamed "Research for Type Foundries of America and Their Catalogues." Series named "Photographs" and "Serials" were added. The "Serials" series was created for accessibility, as most had previously been filed with the correspondence.
Many of the folder titles have been retained, with the exceptions of those for the correspondence and type faces. Some of the correspondence has been renamed—using the name of the business or organization in lieu of an individual, as Annenberg may have corresponded with more than one individual at a business. The names of individuals appear after the business or institution in the folder heading. The folders housing the specimen sheets were renamed to highlight the type face and remove most company names since multiple companies produced or distributed a particular type face.
An unprocessed accretion to the collection received in 1985 (mostly correspondence and serials) was integrated into the previously processed portion of the collection during reprocessing in 2008.
Some duplicate materials, mainly multiple carbon copies of letters, were removed and discarded. Personal correspondence and other personal materials were separated and returned to a member of the Annenberg family. Also, oversized items were housed in an oversized manuscript box. Staples and paper clips have been removed and replaced with plastic fasteners when necessary. The entire collection was placed in new acid-free legal size folders and boxes.

Detailed Description of the Collection
Series 1: Correspondence, 1935-1979 and undated (2.25 linear feet)
This series consists of the professional correspondence of Maurice Annenberg. He corresponded with institutions, individuals, and firms on a wide variety of topics related to typography. Some of these inquiries resulted in long-standing friendships, such as with Terry Belanger at Columbia University and Steven Saxe. He also maintained correspondence with newsletter publishers to whom he offered advice on type and business practices. He was a member of many charities, civic groups, and professional organizations and corresponded with those groups. He wrote to government agencies and officials to voice his concern or offer suggestions for revising policies. This series also contains some examples of typography work sent along with letters by some of his correspondents. These include reprints, samples, advertising, book publication notices, brochures, catalogs, and book lists.
Separate folders were created for any correspondent with whom there were more than two pages of correspondence. When there was only a single page of correspondence with an individual, it was grouped alphabetically in folders under the initial letters of the correspondent's surname. Most of the correspondence was conducted with businesses and has been filed in folders for institutions, businesses, or print shops; otherwise a correspondent is listed under his or her own name. In the folder headings for institutions or businesses, names of the individual correspondents appear after the institution or business name. Annenberg made carbons of many of his letters, so frequently both sides of the correspondence are represented in individual folders. The correspondence is arranged alphabetically and, within individual correspondents' files, chronologically.
Any newsletters or catalogs regularly published by an individual or firm are located in Series VI. Correspondence related to subjects in which Annenberg was interested, i.e., gun control and stadium funding, is filed in Series IV, Personal Topics, with related materials. Correspondence related to Type Foundries of America and Their Catalogues is filed in Series V, Research for Type Foundries of America and Their Catalogues, in order to maintain the integrity of Annenbergs filing system.

Series 2: Typefaces, 1925-1978 and undated (2.5 linear feet)
This series contains the specimen sheets, specimen catalogs, and biographies of influential printing industry figures that Annenberg collected as proprietor of his own printing shop in Baltimore, Maryland.
Subseries 2.1: Typefaces and ornaments, 1925-1978 and undated (2.25 linear feet)
This subseries includes the specimen sheets, specimen catalogs, and brochures amassed by Maurice Annenberg when he owned Maran Printing Company.
The specimen examples range from items as short as one page to substantial catalogs. Most specimen sheets include only one type face, but there are some on which there two or more type faces. For examples with two type faces, both are listed on the folder heading. For brochures containing more than two type faces, the company name appears as the folder heading. Individual folders may contain specimen brochures and/or price lists.
These type face samples were sent either by the type foundry that produced the type or the business that distributed the type. It was not always possible to determine if a publication originated with the type caster or the distributer. Folder headings enumerate type faces and company names. When available, the type designers' names are recorded after the type faces in the folder headings. Most of the specimen sheets or brochures are undated.
Type face families may include all variations of the type face—regular, italic, bold, light, medium, heavy, schoolbook, script, wide, roman, black, semi-bold, condensed, or any combination of these. Specimen sheets may include only one version of a type face or the whole family in a variety of points. There are specimen sheets for individual type faces from more than one company.
The folders are arranged alphabetically by type faces or company names.
