Terwijl de grafische industrie in Groningen steeds meer bedreigd wordt door de komst van internet, bloeit het marginale drukwerk als nooit tevoren. Door de inzet van tientallen Groninger margedrukkers blijft de kennis van de historische druktechnieken behouden. Niet alleen hun materialen maken deel uit van het industriële erfgoed van de stad, maar ook hun documentatie, kennis en ervaring.
In deze tentoonstelling wordt een selectie getoond uit het werk van vier Groninger margedrukkers. Het werk van Elze ter Harkel, Marlies Louwes, Dick Ronner en Hester Verkruissen geeft een goed beeld van het gevarieerde drukwerk dat in Groningen gemaakt én verzameld wordt.

Martin Luther once held this book in his own hands. He wrote in it too, in response to the text. Others after him followed suit. The book is an edition of the New Testament, translated into Latin by Erasmus of Rotterdam. He did not like the existing translation and so, in 1516, he made a better one. In 1527, this fourth edition appeared in Basel. Luther bought a copy. This copy.

The Special Collections at Groningen University and Uppsala University are linked through their ownership of the two most famous works of the 16th-century Swedisch roman catholic scientists, cartographer and writer Olaus Magnus. This concerns his Carta Marina, printed in Venice in 1539 and now held by Uppsala University, and his book Description of the Northern Peoples (Historia De Gentibus Septentrionalibus, Earumque Diversis Statibus, Conditionibus, Moribus, Ritibus, Superstitionibus, Disciplinis) printed in Rome in 1555 and now held by Groningen University. The two objects are closely related, and this relationship becomes evident when focusing on one of the most interesting aspects of both works: their emphasis on sea monsters.
Participating in the Things That Matter summer school of prof. Raingard Esser, students Sanna Nyholt and Madelief Albers researched both works. They describe their findings in the beautifully illustrated online exhibition Olaus Magnus' monstrous creatures.
