The Mainz small publishers archive
The Mainzer Minipressen-Archiv (MMPA – Mainz small publishers archive) is a section of the Gutenberg Museum containing Germany's only collection of print products by small and miniature publishers. The extensive contents of the archive include around 6,000 books, 2,000 newspapers, 1,000 flyers, and 30,000 publisher's brochures, along with fine press prints, audio carries, videos, and addresses of small publishers. Every two years, the MMPA organizes the Mainzer Minipressen Messe (MMPM – Mainz book fair for small publishers), a general public trade fair for small publishers with participants from across Europe.
