GENERAL FILE

DATES
1' (1 Records Storage Box) 1971-1992

The General File consists of records created or used by Professor Gutchen that relate to the Biscuit City Press. Of importance is a two volume diary of the press, 1975-1980, and a sales journal, 1979-1980.  Volume IX of the notebooks is in this file because more than two-thirds of its contents relate to Professor Gutchen’s involvement in and with theatrical productions of the University of Rhode Island Theatre Department. The notebook contains flyers and programs, and newspaper clippings from 1874-1990. The latter one-third contains samples of printing from other presses.

The folders in the general file are listed alphabetically by subject.  Volume IX is listed under University of Rhode Island Theatre.
