Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum Virtual Tour

Friday, August 27, 2021 @ 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum Hang, feat. Howard Iron Works

After many years directly involved in the printing industry, Liana and Nick Howard set about to build a museum of printing history with focus on machinery from the 1830’s to 1950’s. This period was an exciting time for not only worldwide technology, but also improvements to the printing press. Howard Iron Works is supported by world-class talent in order to restore and present equipment just as it would have been when leaving the original factories. The current Collection features an impressive selection of Iron Presses, Cylinders, Platens and Bindery Equipment. In addition, the library also features a collection of vintage printing-related books, technical and trade journals.

The Howards are custodians of Howard Graphic Equipment Ltd., a supplier and rebuilder of printing and converting equipment. The business started in 1967. Nick Howard has worked in the printing trade since he was a young boy, following a family tradition of several generations. Liana Howard has been not only involved but instrumental in leading the Howard Group of Companies and shares the same passion for the printing trades.
