Museum Lobby

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 Search this web site, please use the Google search box at the bottom of this page.

You can send an email to the Curator.  We welcome photos and information to improve our web site.  We deal in historical information and are unable to offer appraisals or information about current market values.  We do not have information on how to repair or restore early machines or to obtain parts.  We purchase some antique office items. 

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

More About the Museum
 
The Curator (seated center) and staff of three have worked like dogs for many years to create this online museum, and all rights are reserved. Please read the copyright notice below.

The Early Office Museum is a web site and does not have a collection of office items or a building. 

The Early Office Museum has no external funding.  Not one cent of tax-payer money.  That's right:  no bailouts, no economic stimulus funds, no earmarks.  No advertising sales.  No membership fees.  No ticket sales.  No endowment.  No grants.  No lobbyists.

We thank the many museums, libraries, historical societies, and private collectors that have allowed us to use their photographs and to photograph items in their collections.
