The Virtual Typewriter Museum
Long before we were all typing on keyboards connected to computers, we were typing on the keys of a typewriter. The Virtual Typewriter Museum provides a history of the development of the typewriter. There are many really amazing photos of early typewriters and some great information, although it's a bit hard to navigate the site.
As the Museum explains:
The typewriter is one of the great inventions of 19th Century communications technology. Between the 1860s and 1920s engineers, inventors and even carpenters invested all their creativity in the development of the ultimate writing machine. This virtual museum, that is based on private collections of antique typewriters from around the world, is a tribute to their ingenuity.
You can read more about the history, the collection, and the library, as well as more about the museum.
