The Museum of Printing in North Andover, Massachusetts is one of a few comprehensive museums of printing remaining in North America. The Smithsonian closed its printing exhibition and all of its historic presses, type setters, and other artifacts are in storage. They may never be seen again.

Since 1978, The Museum of Printing has acquired and exhibited the history of letterpress, intaglio, and lithographic printing. In addition, it has the only major collection of photographic typesetting devices and artifacts in the world. Its library of books, manuals, type specimen materials, and ephemera is among the largest. It houses the linotype Type Library – drawings for every glyph in every U.S. linotype metal typeface.

This Guide describes much of the Collection and some of the history behind the machines and crafts that educated and informed America in the 19th and 20th centuries.

The Museum of Printing is a non-profit, all volunteer organization.
