Peter Rutledge Koch founded Black Stone Press in Missoula, Montana, and Modern Gothic, a journal of poetry, literature and art in 1974. He would eventually move his business from Montana to San Francisco, California in 1978, and later to Berkeley, California.
During the next thirty years, Koch would work as a fine art printer in the San Francisco Bay Area under the imprints Peter Rutledge Koch, Typographic Design and Peter Koch, Printers.
Peter Koch works as an educator and promoter of book arts and fine art printing through his partnerships with various San Francisco Bay Area institutions and as co-founder of the Codex Foundation (established 2005).
The Peter Koch Ephemera Collection (1975-2011) contains 6 boxes (1 oversize) of original and reproduced prints and designs compiled for the Rare Book and Manuscript Library at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign by Peter Koch.
The collection comprises nearly four decades of visual exemplars from the career of fine press printer and book designer Peter Koch. Works can be traced chronologically from Black Stone Press in Missoula, Montana through several locations in the San Francisco Bay Area. Oversize items in Series 2 are chronological by folder, with some missing years (1981, 1985, 2009).
Varying in size, materials include publications, business cards, announcements, book designs, brochures, invitations, programs, coasters, advertisements, and stationary, as well as other examples of typography and fine art printmaking. The collection also includes printed materials made for the Codex Foundation.
