The Early Office Museum™ engages in research on the history and evolution of offices, antique office machines and equipment, and business technology based on original documents, artifacts, and vintage photographs.

The Museum disseminates its research findings via exhibits on this web site. To visit the Exhibits, please click on the preceding link or the link at the top of this page.

To send an email to the Curator, please click here. We deal in historical information and do not offer appraisals or information about current market values. However, we do purchase certain types of unusual office antiques. Before contacting us about something you are interested in selling, please click here for information about the items that we do purchase and those that we do not purchase.

We are delighted to be in The Collector's Weekly HALL OF FAME for Best Collector Sites on the Web.
