Publishing, print and digital
Publishing now encompasses print and digital production. Progress has eliminated the typesetting craft, but also has reduced the cost and turnaround time in printing newsletters, magazines and books.
Internet publishing
Two long-running titles were produced and maintained here. Both are held in the web archive rather than on the live web today, so they are listed for the record without an outbound link.

Five Pieces of History — From the OSS to the CIA
Robert Coffin was an instructor of fine art at Ohio State University when the United States entered World War II. He was drafted into Wild Bill Donovan’s Office of Strategic Services along with a diverse crew of other men and women with special talents and expertise. He remained in the service after the war when the OSS evolved into the Central Intelligence Agency by Act of Congress. These are his experiences, photographs and observations of the operations in which he participated, from the Quebec Conference to the war in Vietnam. Mr. Coffin died on 27 June 2000 at the age of 87, but he was able to complete this book and see it in its present form. The complete work, including photographs, is available as an e-book.
