In our Core databases, we collect data around published type specimens by type foundries. We also collect records about which libraries own copies of these publications in the Objects database.
The cataloged type specimens can be accessed for free in several ways:
as links to external archives
as embedded content (PDFs, Videos) directly on our site
as image gallery of scans directly on our site
We also collect hi-resolutions scans of these materials, but they are only accessible to supporting members.
Sending in materials
It is possible to send in physical type specimen materials. We archive your materials in collaboration with the printing museum Pavillon-Presse in Weimar, Germany. Your materials will be added to the museum’s type specimen library and can be digitized for the Letter Library platform. The museum’s address can be found here: https://pavillon-presse.de/preise-anfahrt/
