Looking At You: some mX papers from November 2005

A few copies are held of every issue of mX Melbourne from 2001 to 2015

MMOP recognised the importance of mX the moment it appeared in 2001. Our volunteers have collected a few copies every day since then.

A lot of work is still required to get the collection into order and available for general use. Dedicated individuals who can make a regular commitment (such as one afternoon a week or one per fortnight) are welcome to visit and check out what is required.

These boxes carry about half of our mX, from 2005 to 2010

If you have a particular requirement for research, please come and talk about it.

First contact for any purpose should be by email to mx@mmop.org.au. Please include your phone number.

The MMOP location and other details are on our contact page.

What else do we do?

Our professional development workshops show you how typesetting and printing is done by hand, as an ancient craft. We can teach you this skill, then you can print your own work, all by hand, in our Access Studio. You can print for yourself, or for clients. Or just for fun and understanding.
