Any contact we have been able to make with the Trustees will be reported.

Thanks to Ian Gabb, for making this possible, and who is also willing
to show people around their Letterpress workshop (right next to

URGENT!!!

The Type Museum is to close...
The trustees of the Type Museum have taken the decision to CLOSE the museum due to lack of funding. These unique collections spanning the evolution of type design and manufacture may be split up and the majority put into storage - unlikely to see the light of day again. We need your help urgently if we are save the Type Museum as a working resource for the future.
"The facts are that as the Museum has insufficient funds to cover its running costs, it is legally obliged to close while its trustees explore other options for keeping it going. When this process is complete, a public announcement will be made."
Nicolas Barker
There will be a meeting to discuss these recent events and the knock-on effects on Wednesday 31.05.06 at the Type Museum at 18.30 .

Type Museum Society Subject: Invitation to my wiki 'typemuseum'

Hi!

The Type Museum Society has a wiki and would like to share it with you.

A wiki is an easy-to-use Web page that lets you collaborate with other people--no special knowledge required. It's unbelievably easy to use. You just start typing! This is useful because it allows us all to create new pages, make links to pages we've already made, and let others edit the wiki, too. We can all add to this wiki.

This link will take you to the wiki and allow you to create and edit pages, add to discussions, and upload files.

Type Museum Society Meeting 24.05.2006

Forty people came to the meeting last night despite the wind and rain.
Many more apologies were received with pledges of support - a board was
filled with just a small part of the email messages. A report on the
situation as it appears to supporters and former staff of the Museum
was given and questions put and answered. What future the collections
face was discussed but there was uncertainty about the course of events
and timescale. It was agreed to seek further information from the
trustees. The central theme expressed was the objective to keep the
collections together and accessible. Support was expressed for widening
the publicity about the collections and their predicament. A further
meeting will take place in one week on Wednesday 31.05.06 at the Type
Museum at 18.30.
