June 23rd is National Typewriter Day! This day commemorates when the typewriter was first patented on this day in 1868. For today, we thought we would address something that is sometimes mistaken for a typewriter in our print shop exhibit: the keyboard on our Model 8 Linotype, which was made in 1913. In this video, Howard explains the layout of the Linotype’s keyboard and its use. #NationalTypewriterDay #typewriter #linotype #SacHistoryMuseum #sacramento #museum #history #printshop | Sacramento

June 23rd is National Typewriter Day! This day commemorates when the typewriter was first patented on this day in 1868. The typewriter was patented by American inventor Christopher Latham Sholes. For today, we are sharing a video from the desk of our Museum Director who typed a message using her 1950s apple red Smith-Corona typewriter. #NationalTypewriterDay #typewriter #typing #sachistorymuseum #museum #Sacramento | Sacramento History Museum
