Non-profit organization celebrating the world of hand papermaking. Through its exhibitions, annual meetings, and other means, NAHP will provide a forum to exchange information and educate its members and the public about the art, craft, history, science, and technology of papermaking, the book arts, and other diverse interests which captured the imagination of Dard Hunter (1883-1966). These forums and educational activities will also promote and encourage the continued and creative practice of hand papermaking, allied paper arts, the book arts, and other arts practiced by Dard Hunter. The study of paper and papermaking, preservation of historical sites and artifacts, conservation, and scientific and technical research shall all be encouraged. In 2019, Friends of Dard Hunter became North American Hand Papermakers with the same mission.
