This is a very niche post, but anyone that has an interest in printing technology and typographic history should fill out this short survey on the future of the Type Archive in London which shut down and is now under the Science Museum Group: https://www.cphc.org.uk/updates/2024/4/12/the-monotype-collection-the-next-chapter cc @typographica @okay @typeoff @kupfers

It is encouraging that the Science Museum is seeking public input and I bet that many of us here could benefit from having this archive available instead of just shoved away in storage like “Indiana Jones!”

@onpaperwings@typo.social Very good to hear. I have filled out a survey. The UK could use a real typographic history museum. Maybe in Sheffield!

@onpaperwings@typo.social @typographica@typo.social @okay@mastodon.social @typeoff@typo.social @kupfers@mastodon.social I've just completed this - not knowing much about the collection basically sent me to the last question. Happy to be contacted with more info? Yes. However nowhere to actually add my contact details. If you know the folk behind the form, can you ask them to check out that last question?
