Letterpress in Australia

Listed below are various aspects of current letterpress activity in Australia. Print Shops open to the public, in Heritage Parks, etc. are listed in a short checklist. That list also shows their major holdings of equipment, but there is a separate list of equipment, based on the Museums list, but in machine order to make it easier to track dowm a particular item of equipment. Another list is of active letterpress printers, but these may not necessarily welcome visitors except by appointment. Note that these lists are still being compiled, and any omissions would be welcomed.

This page also lists a few sources of paper, ink, etc., but as yet very sparsely. Please send any additions, amendments, or comments, to David Bolton.
