Queanbeyan Printing Museum

A nostalgic journey into the past, of The Queanbeyan Age in 1860 through to the mid-1970s when letterpress printing in Queanbeyan was superseded by electronics and computerised typesetting. The museum has 12 main sections from hand-set type, through hot-metal production, including a model 14

Lintotype, to a variety of printing presses such as Wharfedale hand-fed press, various platens, proof presses and a Meihle automatic commercial printing

press.

A complete photographic darkroom is also featured.

All machines have been restored to operational mode.

The static displays include tools of trade and memorabilia of a bygone age of the printing profession with photographs and reproductions of The Age front

pages on display.
