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 if you wanna put in a good word for returning the collection to our Kelham Island in Sheffield, that'd be outstanding! ;)

@onpaperwings@typo.social The fact is that the Type Archive never managed to get itself "off the ground" in Kennington. It was not very easily accessible. I remember visiting around 2001 when there were plans to get the architects Marks Barfield to create a museum for the TA. It could well be that the outcome of all this is to make the collections more readily available.
