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into the past, of The Queanbeyan Age in 1860 through to the mid-1970s when letterpress printing in Queanbeyan was superseded by electronics and computerised typesetting.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.
