Introducing our New Museum Manager: Mindy Mitrano

The Museum of Printing has named long-time volunteer Mindy Mitrano to the newly created role of Museum Manager. The move is one of a series of actions by the Haverhill, Massachusetts-based museum as it enters its next half century of telling the rich story of print and other forms of communications.

Mitrano, who also lives in Haverhill, began her associ­ation with the Museum in 2018 as the librarian. Her other roles at the Museum have included gift shop curation, event management, and the monthly Book Arts Open Studio.

In addition to her work with the Museum, Mitrano is a professionally trained graphic designer with a foundation in fine arts. Originally from the Finger Lakes region of New York, she’s known locally as Mindy Paper. She teaches a variety of classes at her combination art studio and cookie bakery, often integrating watercolor, typography, cut paper manipulation, letterpress printing, paper-making, or book binding.

In her new role as Museum Manager, Mitrano will oversee day-to-day operations of the Museum. She will also coordinate the work of its dedicated core of volunteers as well as outreach to schools, non-profits, and others.

“Mindy has long been an active and valuable member of the Museum of Printing comm­unity,” said Museum of Printing President Frank Romano, who helped to found the Museum and is one of the nation’s leading experts on printing and related topics. “She will help the Museum continue to grow and expand its important work.”
