The organization was founded in 1986 by Amanda Degener and Michael Durgin, who were the magazine's original co-editors. In 1993, Bobbie Lippman replaced Degener as co-editor. Durgin became sole editor in 1995, until he passed the baton to current editor Mina Takahashi in 2005.

Executive Director Tom Bannister joined the organization in 1995. Hand Papermaking is overseen by a dedicated Board of Directors and assisted by a Board of Advisors. In addition to its main program, Hand Papermaking magazine and newsletter, the organization has initiated additional programs in order to promote the appreciation of handmade paper. In 1988, an artist registry was established, from which three juried kits have been produced. And in 1994, Hand Papermaking presented the first in a bi-annual series of limited-edition portfolios of handmade papers.
