Anniversary


150 Years of the Landquart Paper Mill.

The anniversary publication of Landqart AG, producer of the Swiss banknote substrate.

Book, Event.

Background


Once the largest industrial company in the Canton of the Grisons, the paper mill in Landquart rose to the world league of banknote substrate manufacturers. It is the classic and successful transformation story of a Swiss industrial company to a high-tech specialist. Magnificent industrial photographs from the 1920s along with interesting archival material document this historical development.

Commission


On behalf of Landqart AG, Public History Research carried out extensive archival research, sifted through countless images and interviewed contemporary witnesses. Based on this material, a book was produced that comprehensively narrates the chronicle of the paper mill in an attractive way for the first time – bilingual in German and English and implemented coherently from A to Z by Public History. At the anniversary celebrations, the work was honored with an event exhibition that we helped shape and was distributed as a gift.
