We recently came across instructions on how to build a manual copiograph, the equipment used to make the first communiqués, in the 1978 Bulletin of the Front of Popular Artists and Revolutionary Intellectuals (FAPIR). In the article, the copiograph is considered a useful object to design, to print and publicise theatre plays, artistic and sporting achievements, etc.

In this context, we take the opportunity to publicise the large collection of press releases and pamphlets that CD25A-UC holds, many of which were made on manual copiers. The list of this collection is available here.
