Name: Ben Kiel on May 28, 2007Comments: 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.Flag

Name: David Vickers on May 29, 2007Comments: 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.Flag

Name: Susannah King on May 29, 2007Comments: 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.Flag

Name: Sallyanne Theodosiou on May 29, 2007Comments: 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.Flag

Name: Daniel Gardiner Morris on May 29, 2007Comments: 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.Flag

Name: Norman L. McKnight on May 29, 2007Comments: 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. Norman McKnight Philoxenia Press Berkeley CaliforniaFlag

Name: Helen Ingham, MA (CSM) on May 29, 2007Comments: 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.Flag
