Milton Vernon Simpson, Jr. (1910-2001) was a nationally-recognized and highly-regarded printer, working in Los Angeles. Upon his retirement from printing as a business, his collection of type and printers was acquired by ArtCenter and formed the core of Archetype Press, ArtCenter's educational letterpress facility consisting of 13 presses and over 2,000 cases of type. His archive collection materials include business and personal papers, specimen sheets, photographs, ephemera, and other artifacts.
