4. Can you identify fonts?
The National Museum of American History would be grateful for your help. Many thousands of fonts/batches of type and matrices in the collections need your expertise to identify them.
Can you spare a few hours or a few days?
Go to the Smithsonian Collections search page at: https://www.si.edu/Collections and plug in the word “matrices,” “type, font of” and “type, batch of,” and “wood type.” Some of the fonts don’t have identifiers or have a filler name like “Sans serif, Black letter, Roman letter.”
If you find any that you can identify or have suggestions about, for possible font names, please email your results to: boudreauj@si.edu (Joan Boudreau, Curator, Graphic Arts Collections, National Museum of American History).
