Scope and content:: The collection consists of some papermaking equipment (a small Hollander beater and a papermaking vat) which Elliott used for hand papermaking demonstrations, and some related stuff, mostly different raw materials.

This material was given to Special Collections in the 1950s as part of the effort to create a Graphic Arts Center at Columbia .
