Erica,
You might look for a book by Karen A. Schriver entitled Dynamics in Document
Design. It was published in 1997, and has a decent history/evolution of the
profession. At the end of that chapter, there's a good timeline for
document design (1900-1995)
...It's easy reading overall...
Hope this helps,
John Balchunas
