In the Museum proper, we are currently setting up displays of machinery, artefacts and documents.

This workbench with storage space below came from a printery which closed in the 1990's. It may have been used for collating. It was used in our former location in the same way: a layer of book-cloth as a background for artefacts, and a glass top.

Visible in this shot are printers' supply catalogs, business documents, small typesettings, a typeset job locked up in a chase, a photoengraving, a large sheet from a printmaker who typeset and printed the text portion at the Museum's Access Studio, a roll of Monotype Ribbon with a document encoded in its punched holes, a Monotype Matrix Case carrying 225 matrices for casting type and the corner of a stereotype plate (to print a calendar for 1977).

It is the Museum's intention to change the items on display from time to time. Our store has tens of thousands of items like these, and they are also available for research into the history of design and many other areas of interest.
