Please note that this is NOT to replace the [https://typewriterdatabase.com/ Typewriter Database] or other resources. Rather, this site aims to collect information and make it easily accessible for new and experienced typewriter users alike. This site is created and maintained by the [https://discord.gg/ws5Gzaf Typewriter Discord server]. The Typewriter Wiki is still quite new, so please excuse our dust as we complete pages and add more content. | ||
