Collection Policy

The Museum's policy is to accept most items relating to the craft and business of printing. When funds permit, the items may be purchased and/or if necessary, transported at the Museum's expense.

However in many cases they cannot be accepted unless donated and transported at the donor's expense. Priority in the use of scarce funds will be for items of a kind which would not otherwise be likely to be available, and which are an important link in the development of a relevant process. Items may also be purchased if they are of practical value in the Museum's operations.

Items may be acquired as a long-term loan, either from an independent owner or another museum.
