These materials were recovered during the final closin g of his print shop in Powell River in September 1991 . Mr . Hudso n has retired completely from the print trade and has moved t o Nelson, B .C . The circumstances of his retirement and the donatio n of these materials are outlined in the brief correspondence fil e which leads off the collection . Wil Hudson has been a noted printer for over 30 years . I n Vancouver in the 1960s, he was known successively as Grous e Mountain Press, New Age Press, and "Wil Hudson, Printer" . In the 1970s at Cape Dorset, NWT, he published with the West Baffi n Eskimo Cooperative (and was involved in the creation of the Cap e Dorset Eskimo Syllabic type (5-1 .5), "a native language printing type for . use in promoting literal printed communication amon g the Inuit people") . Finally, he settled in Powell River as a commercial printer until 1991 . He is highly respected by printer s and lovers of fine presswork, "a legend" to younger printers , noted for his "style and flair" (1-1 .1) . This collection consists of two formal sample books and a varied range of fugitive samples of Hudson's commercial printing . It contains materials from throughout his career, and is a n important addition to our collections of such materials from othe r fine-press printers of B .C ., including Robert Reid, Gerald Giampa , and Jan and Crispin Elsted . As well, materials documentin g Hudson's work with the Alcuin Society supplement our records o f the Alcuin Society itself : in particular, for the rathe r acrimonious Canadian Settler's Guide project, compare the record s in the Alcuin Society Papers, 8-24,25 and 15-1,2,3,4 . 2 For convenience, files of materials relating directly t o Hudson's own places of business are included as the second series . Thereafter, materials have been classified generally according t o type--commercial notices, stationery, invitations, cards, churc h notices, poems, woodcuts, broadsides and covers--with specia l series for some corporate bodies for which significant quantitie s of materials are present, the Gallery Tantalus (Powell River), th e Alcuin Society, and UBC . The collection includes also a copy of A Compendium o f Historic Canadiana, four facsimiles of historic documents i n historically appropriate folders, with explanatory cover sheet . This has been catalogued for the library's pamphlet collection , with a note linking it with the Wil Hudson Papers (SPAM ) . Similarly, complete copies of some of the periodicals in Series 1 0 have also been moved to the pamphlet collection .
