| 4 | perienne christian | please keep this amazing cultural and historical goldmine open. it would be a tragedy if it had to close. |
| 5 | Tim Martin | The methods of making Type are the foundations of the future of communication - save our typographic treasure. |
| 6 | Bram Pitoyo | If the wiki still need some copywriting/PR support, please do count me in. I worked on the Press Release draft about a year ago. |

| 8 | Ben Kiel | The Type Museum is unique in the world: the depth and breadth of its collections are very important to the history of 18th and 19th century typographic history. It was invaluable for my MA research. |
| 9 | Melvin L. Arndt | What an absolute shame it would be to lose this wonderful resource! Shame on you if you don't find a way to keep this treasure intact. |

| 13 | Giles Heselwood | The collection is unique, and and I can't understand why there isn't any public funding for this deserving cause. |

| 18 | David Vickers | The Type Museum and associated institutions are imperative to the living heritage of printing history and the education, perpetuation and preservation of traditional craft-based skills in letterpress printing, and indeed the survival of small private presses in the Uk and abroad. |

| 21 | Leah Harrison Bailey | The type museum is not a only a necessary record of the history of type and design it is also a priceless learning experience for new students. DO NOT LET IT DISAPPEAR. |

| 26 | Susannah King | Can the actions of the Trustees over the past 2 years be trusted? With so many influential people involved with the Type Museum's society why does it still feel like it is a loosing battle? ie a decision already been made/or a deal already cut. Perhaps I watch too many films - but I sense something very underhand going on - only it is being dealt with by very wealthy 'British' individuals.
Can someone please explain. The French set about their revolution - why can't WE use our power? At present it feels more like the 'Trial' in the Kafka novel. |
| 27 | anna martin | Please keep the collection intact and on display! |

| 34 | Dom Bailey | The type archive is a hugely important part of this countries history and development in communications. A museum to showcase this archive and educate on process is a great asset. |

| 36 | Sallyanne Theodosiou | This is such a valuable resource for designers and students alike. So much of our type history has disappeared in recent years that to loose the Type Museum after so much effort has been put into creating it in the first place just should not be considered. My students have been in awe of the shear scale of the collection, and it has helped them to understand the history and creation of type in a way they could not have got from books alone. |
| 37 | Christine Parkin | A great resource for printers and binders - and a great shame if it disappears! |

| 39 | Daniel Gardiner Morris | Visiting London this past February, I was most interested in viewing the collection of the Type Museum. I was shocked and disappointed that it was no longer on public view. This is an important collection and I hope that it can be preserved for the public interest. |
| 40 | Norman L. McKnight | It is so easy to excuse disbanding a cultural heritage if it seems at
all difficult to maintain; but once it has been disbanded it can rarely be put back
together when people do
finally awaken to the value of what they have
lost. I hope the English
People, proud as they
ought to be, will not weaken in the face of
this challenge. The world of print & the
means of making it are
at the very core of what
we are as a civilized
people. Please think twice about this.

| 41 | Helen Ingham, MA (CSM) | This closure is badly timed as letterpress is set for a huge revival in this country. I currently work in the letterpress room in Central St Martin's and have witnessed first hand the level of interest and desire to co-join this process with contemporary design techniques. As a parallel, the BBC threw out all their valve equipment some years back, which was hastily snapped up by collectors. Now they are trying to replace what's been lost, having realised the value of what was mistakenly seen to be obsolete. |

| 44 | Eileen Madden | I am planning a trip to London, and this is one of the key collections I'd like to see. |
| 45 | Len Tower Jr. | a eorking museum saves much more knowledge then one that merrely stores or displays objects. |

| 47 | John Labovitz | As a working typographer and traveler who enjoys visiting type-related sites around the world, I would find it sad if the Type Museum was closed to the public. Please rethink your decision. |

| 50 | garry Burton | If you don't realise how important this museum is as a complete collection then you don't deserve to be a trustee! You have a responsibility - use it before it's too late! |
