Typewriter Day

We celebrate World Typewriter Day on June 23, the anniversary of the granting of the U.S. patent to Christopher Latham Sholes in 1868. If you've got a typewriter, join us for an annual celebration!


2012

This year saw the dawn of the Typewriter Insurgency, as "occupy" movements the world over formed. Celebrations were a bit more personal this year, although we did have what may have been the first face-to-face cross-continental type-ins.



2011

 2011 was the first year of the "typosphere.net" site, and we celebrated this inaugural year with world-wide type-ins, captured on video and shared with one another. Here's a roundup of that year's celebrations.
