Great list of 'tables' from @letterformarchive and how they are being used to help teach Type History.

I've always loved the 'tables' idea - we originally came up with it because we wanted a way to give a sense online of the experience of visiting the archive. Those fabulous sessions where the staff would lay out a special table for you, filled with all manner of wondrous artefacts.

Dwiggins talking about junk mail! This book looks like a gem. #advertising #designhistory #advertisinghistory

I finde the Internet Archive a never-ending source of significant content.
And there even is a continually curated, easier-to-browse collection of graphic design related items that are available there.
Hooray!

#DesignHistory #OralHistory journal article alert! I'm delighted to see my article published as part of the special electricity issue of the Journal of Electricity History, edited by Animesh Chatterjee and Daniel Perez Zapico, with thanks to the ESB Archives and the National Museum of Ireland: https://energyhistory.eu/en/special-issue/electricity-modernity-and-tradition-during-irish-rural-electrification-1940-1970 #IrishHistory #IrishDesign #MaterialCulture

ADA is another design #archive – this time focusing on Arabic design – to pass the time and gain a new perspective on #DesignHistory. I just wonder why these archives tend to favor fancy presentation over solid accessibility.

But see for yourself: https://arabicdesignarchive.com/

I'll be in Mexico City for most of July (doing a studio residency). Anyone here been to/have a contact at Archivo Diseño y Arquitectura? I wanna see it. #cdmx #histodons #designhistory

Air was such a bloody good film. Damon and Affleck knocking it out of the park again. A story I already sort of knew, but the characters behind it are really compelling. Some nice #DesignHistory in there, and major #80s flashbacks for me too!

My Making History class visited the Gateway Arch following a homework assignment in which they watched “The Pruitt-Igoe Myth” (2012) and read an excerpt from Adrienne Brown”s “The Black Skyscraper” (2017). A lesson in local intersections of racial capitalism and modernist design. #designhistory

In this case study: info on how the technology of typesetting has changed the design and engineering of fonts over the course of history.

Tonight my Making History class visited the George B Vashon Museum of African American History where Mr Calvin Riley talked to us about the collection and its relationship to his career in antique dealing. A unique museum in the Ville neighborhood of St Louis, many of the artifacts on display are in the geographical context where they originated. #histodons #blackhistory #designhistory #WashU

I wrote a 2,500 word case study about Catlin Sans, a typeface I designed for The Fifty-Nine Parks Print Series, a poster series that uses beautiful illustrations by many different artists to extoll the beauty of the American National Parks.

Inspiration was taken from WPA posters, and history of art celebrating the National Parks.
