To serve as a community resource with workshops, hands-on experience, exhibits, publications and demonstrations. As a living museum of related arts, we offer research and library resources on printing, typography, design, poetry and art, including historic and technical reference materials and equipment. We serve our members, school groups and individuals of the general public with education, literary and related activities to serve the public good. As rehabilitation of our historic depot building continues, we engage the public at other possible venues. We continue individual projects, information services, construction and planning, as well as maintenance and repair of equipment and organization of our museum collection. Preservation and rehabilitation of our historic Englewood Depot building as home for our museum continued in 2023. The exterior aspect of the Depot is protected by an historic preservation easement held by the Colorado Historical Foundation, while interior historic rehabilitation is supported by the State Historical Fund and other funding. Interior work in 2023 repaired a seriously deteriorated main ceiling beam and other structural problems, with professional employment of a structural engineer. Work continued with roughing in of plumbing and electrical systems and preservation of historic features of the Depot. Our mission to serve the community joins the rehabilitation and repurposing of the historic Depot with our creation of a living museum with our collection of letterpress materials and resources for the community. The rehabilitation expenses are an initial focus to establish and preserve our historic connections for this community. Grants for rehabilitation received in 2022 from the State Historical Fund and from the Gates Family Foundation supported continuation of the rehabilitation work through 2023. 0 48133 Our collection. Preparation - assessment, inventory, maintenance, storage, repairs - of historic printing & typographic material to be used & displayed in our museum and programs. In 2023 additional equipment and library resources were added. Two historically significant collections, donated in 2023, were moved to the depot and inventoried. Research, preservation cleaning and repair work was undertaken. Included are a 19th century Galley Universal press and a major collection of rare wood type. Metal type and printing cuts, a roller proof press, and historic materials from a printshop from Wisconsin are now in the depot collection. A second donation of metal type and other materials from a Colorado printshop includes the unexpected discovery of a type from a 19th century foundry which previously was thought to have been designed in Germany in the 1920s! Hebrew type was also acquired, adding to our collection of foreign language types. While continuing work on the Depot building has limited full use of our collection at the Depot, we have assured safe conditions for storage and repairs, inventory records, documentation, and access - our collection continues to grow and be developed and has been creatively available for teaching and other projects in the community. 0 160 Demonstrations to introduce book arts, printing, historic information and our available resources continued in 2023. Public events with students and others included hands-on printing at Charles Hay World Elementary School and Cherrelyn Elementary, and at events sponsored by the City of Englewood in city parks as well as a downtown Block Party. We brought our presses out for the Rocky Mountain Stamp Show and for the annual Rocky Mountain Book & Paper Fair. Individual workshops and printing projects were done at nearby printshops. Seasonal cards, wedding invitations, poetry, broadsides, and other small press projects have been hand-set and printed by traditional methods. Individual advice and discussion have been available online and by phone, including research access and scanning materials from our collection of historic amateur journalism. Our investment continued in Zoom meeting resources for Board meetings and discussions, and for expanded online projects, education and sharing of our work on our website and on social media with a larger online public. We are actively involved nationally and internationally in an expanding online letterpress and bookarts community. 0 260 48553 Tom Parson Executive Director 40.00 0 0 0 Ian Van Mater President 4 0 0 0 Patti Parson Secretary 6 0 0 0 Jason Wedekind Vice President 4 0 0 0 Marc Silberman Director 6 0 0 0 Elanor Harris Director 0.5 0 0 0 David Laskowski Director 3 0 0 0 Bryan Dahlberg Director 4 0 0 0 Kirk Benson Director 2.5 0 0 0 William Whitley Director 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CO Thomas Parson 157 South Logan Street Denver CO 80209 7204805358 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 38928 57929 55689 71879 53354 277779 751 874 1421 295 684 4025 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 39679 58803 57110 72174 54038 281804 15811 20408 9704 1349 10458 57730 0 0 0 0 0 0 15811 20408 9704 1349 10458 57730 224074 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 39679 58803 57110 72174 54038 281804 0.79514 0.7997 0 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Misc operating expenses, insurance ($2527), license renewals and filing fees, web and internet charges Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 20 Donated non-cash assets for 2023 are included.
