The Georgia Weekly Newspaper
Museum is located in Homer, Ga. The
purpose of the museum is to show how
a typical rural weekly newspaper was
published by letterpress in the era of
1888-1940, and even into the 1960s.
At that time, the production of a weekly
newspaper was very labor intensive. To
an extent, newsgathering was a luxury
for many small newspapers because of
the time it took to physically produce a
weekly edition. In that era, many small
town newspapers existed off of the
news that came into their building from
correspondents and others. Original
newsgathering was not done as much as
it is today in many small towns. There
was even a lack of time to do much out
side advertising sales.
This museum shows how a weekly
newspaper was produced in that era
and how the production process from
setting type to printing was done. This
process gave the rural weekly news
paper industry very firm blue-collar
roots as it was craft oriented. Only with
the later advent of offset printing did
the industry shift into a more white-
collar environment.
The Georgia Weekly Newspaper
Museum is owned by Mainstreet
Newspapers, Inc. of Jefferson, Ga. The
firm publishes a small group of weekly
newspapers in Northeast Georgia,
including the local Banks County News
which shares office space with the
museum.
What's Unique About This Museum?
There are a number of museums around
the country that showcase letterpress
printing and some exhibit old news
paper shops. The Georgia Weekly
Newspaper Museum is a little unique in
that it is an intact newspaper shop in the
same location where a newspaper first
began in the community in 1888. In
addition, most of the equipment in the
museum is original to the site.
The building here was built around
1900, replacing an earlier newspaper
building at the site. The foundry type
and letterpress equipment in the build
ing dates from around 1900 to 1930.
The Banks County Journal, the weekly
newspaper that was published at this
site starting in 1888 (under another
name), continued to be printed here by
letterpress until October 1969. At that
time, it converted to offset printing and
was published by a nearby newspaper
firm until it folded in a 1987 merger.
However, the original letterpress equip
ment was never discarded and remains
in the building.
What Is Letterpress Printing?
The term "letterpress" describes the
actual printing process that was
invented by Gutenberg in 1455 and
used until offset printing replaced it in
the 1960s and 1970s.
Essentially, letterpress printing is the
use of metal (sometimes wood) letters
formed into words and sentences. That
is then locked into a form and put on a
press where ink is applied to the metal
letters. The press then imprints sheets of
paper onto the inked letters, creating
the actual printed page. In the early
years, the type was set by hand, one let
ter at a time. The Linotype automated
that process but even so, letterpress
printing remained very labor intensive.
What Are The Smaller Presses Tor?
For most small town weekly news
papers, publishing a newspaper was
just part of its work. Most also did com
mercial printing on smaller "job"
presses to supplement revenue. These
were items such as printed envelopes,
letterheads, tickets, forms and
receipts. This museum has two job
presses that were used for such printing
work here in Banks County, Georgia.
How Was The Newspaper Printed?
During the early years, the newspaper
was printed on a Washington iron hand
press. The hand press in the museum
isn't original to the site, but is very simi
lar to the one that was used there from
1888 to 1900.
Around 1900, the large Campbell
Country Press was installed. This larger
press, which printed two pages at a
time, could be powered by hand, or by a
belt drive. Until electricity came to the
community in the late 1930s, the belt
drive was powered by a gas or diesel
engine. It drove a shaft in the middle of
the building from which a belt extended
to the press. An electric motor replaced
the gas motor in the early 1940s.
What Was It Like In The Building?
The inside of the building today is very
much like it was over the last century.
Kerosene lanterns and sunlight were the
original sources of light. The main dif
ference today is that the building is air-
conditioned. Historically, the building
would have been very hot in the sum
mer months with only open windows
for airflow. Because paper was being
handled, fans weren't used in the pro
duction areas since they would blow the
paper around. With the mix of inks, sol
vents and sweat smells, the building
would have had a rather strong odor on
hot days. In cold weather, the building
was heated by a potbellied stove burn
ing coal.
The building was also crowded with
equipment and the walking and work
ing areas were tight.
