New Home Updates
A few months ago our landlord informed us that they wanted Letterform Archive out of the building.
The shock of this news soon faded as we recognized the drawbacks of our current location. In so many ways, we are near or beyond capacity.
When we imagine the Archive of the future, we imagine a place worthy of the history we hold. We see a purpose-built, contiguous space for classes, tours, collections, and staff. We dream of a larger venue for events, where more of our community can gather. We picture a dedicated gallery for exhibits. We long for accessibility to public transit. Most of all, we need room to grow.
When we imagine the Archive of the future we picture something like this:
