[picture in document]

A view of part of one of our three stores. Boxes on pallets contain artefacts and documents relating to the printing industry as well as vital spare parts and materials.

Also visible are numerous items of equipment, some in less-than-perfect condition due to repeated moves, including a process camera, galley racks, typecases, stone tables etc..

Since packing them up and moving in 1999, most of these have not been examined or catalogued due to lack of resources and cramped conditions.

Now we have some of them in a better building, and more volunteers are coming forward, but there is doubt about their future because we don't yet have a sponsor or donor to ensure paying the rent until the Museum's program revenues can cover it.
