Following the death last June of its founder, Sue Shaw, The Type Archive has announced that it is recruiting a new Director.
Founded in 1992 as the Type Museum, it is now known as the The Type Archive and and is located in Stockwell, South London. Over the years it has amassed a fabulous collection of historical type-making materials – punches, matrices, machines and much more – notably from the British Monotype Corporation, Stephenson Blake and the York-based wood-letter makers, Robert DeLittle..
The Type Archive is looking for candidates with an academic and practical interest in printing history, preservation and engineering as well as a proven track record in fundraising at both a grassroots and institutional level.
