About the talk
The Printing Films Archive is a collection of vintage films that showcase the technologies and processes of printing, journalism, and typography. It was established by Doug Wilson in 2012 after his work as director of “Linotype: The Film.” In 2013, Carl Schlesinger (a former Linotype operator at The New York Times) donated his extensive collection of films to the Museum of Printing, which assisted with preservation in 2015. The archive’s mission is to preserve films for education and future generations of designers and historians.
