Support the Archive

Tomorrow, May 5, is Giving Tuesday and the Archive Needs your Help!

Thousands of books and design artifacts are lined up for our big move, but only your support can complete their journey. When you sponsor a shelf for #GivingTuesdayNow, you help cover the costs of preserving and moving this part of our collection. You can turn these book frowns upside down!

Letterform Landscapes

As an addition to last month’s stay-at-home inspiration kit, we’re making background images selected from objects in the Online Archive, each carefully cropped and edited for Zoom. Now you can use our periodical wall to visualize your ideal home library, furnish your apartment with type from Caslon’s 1844 specimen, or live inside an issue of Emigre magazine.
