| 53 | Andrew Dolinski | The Type Museum and all its historic artifacts must be saved as a learning resource for this generation and all future generations. |

| 55 | Michael Day | Please preserve the physical artifacts, matrices, and other historical items of England's metal type history that are house in the Type Museum. |
| 56 | Robyn Ward | I would ask those involved to please consider not displacing the collections of the Type Museum and to find the means to keep it going as it's own entit.y |
| 57 | sally arthur | Keep it open!
Type is experiencing a renaissance amongst computer-weary designers, graphics students and animators.
Don't shut up shop please - people need to experience this at first hand and if the type equipment is locked in a vault that is never going to happen.
Save the museum! |
| 58 | John Alexander | To close this unique collection on a subject so basic to civilisation would be a barbaric act. |
| 59 | Clare Deasy | I think it is a great museum, please do not close it. |
| 60 | Zoe Daniels | This is a unique museum and must not be closed! There is nothing else like it in the country, and is valuable resource for students, professionals and anyone who just has an interest in type. KEEP IT OPEN! |
| 61 | Sarah Hyndman | |
| 62 | Michelle Wilson | This is historic world technology and art, and must be preserved. |
| 63 | Justin Hobson | Although the Type Museum has not been particularly accessible in the past, it is nevertheless an incredibly important collection. If the equipment is not maintained as a working museum, then it just becomes hunks of metal without much relevance. In our computer literate world, we owe a huge debt to type. Maybe Bill Gates will hear about the plight of The Type Museum! Posted by: Justin Hobson at Fenner Paper |
| 64 | Judith Delgado | The value of this museum may not be obvious, but that does not diminish its importance! Please save it as the wonderful and accessible resource it is now. |

The Type Museum is a treasure unlike any other in the world. Let's do everything possible to save it. |

| 88 | BILL NAIRN | It would be a crime against civilisation if this treasure was lost or hidden away in "storage" where it would soon fall to the scrap metal dealers! |

| 91 | Patricia Harrison | KEEP THIS MUSEUM. We need to keep our history alive! |
| 92 | Pickafight Books | Dear Trustees
As a printmaker that has learnt and thoroughly enjoys cutting plates and printing in "archaic" methods. I would be greatly saddened at seeing another centre that promotes, educates and showcases such a glorious craft closed. At the Art school I attended, I saw them sell off lithography stones and presses and was, by consequence, denied the opporunity to learn the craft that initially inspired me to study printmaking. Whether I was suited or capable of having lithography a part of my repetoir, or sustaining the knowledge and craft for future generations, I will never know.
Please sustain this 'font' of knowledge and history. In this digital age i fell it is imperative we sustain a connection and understanding of our roots and what has brought us to this point, especially when so much of our cultural production is now obselete the moment you lay eyes on it.
Please help this be here for my (yet unborn) children. When so much is already lost, why must we damn more human history to economically rationalised digital amnesia?
Kind regards,
Andrew Williams - age 28
