The Museum’s History. David Jacobson of Gutenberg Expositions and collector Ernest A. Lindner started the Museum in 1988 to house the Lindner Collection of Antique Printing Machinery. The collection has grown since then with significant donations and acquisition under the leadership of the Museum’s Board of Trustees and Founding Curator and Executive Director, Mark Barbour. From 1988 until 1997, the Printing Museum was located in the city of Buena Park. Following the acquisition of the Museum’s property by CalTrans in 1997, they we moved to our present facility in Carson, California, twenty minutes south of downtown Los Angeles, in 1998. In February, 2003, the Board of Trustees of the International Printing Museum Foundation authorized and raised the necessary funds to acquire title to the Carson property. The International Printing Museum Foundation is recognized as a tax exempt, 501c3 public charity by the IRS. The Museum supports itself in part with receipts from its activities and programs, but relies primarily on donations from individual and corporate donors. Contributions are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
