Welcome to the Typewriter Wiki

We are a small group of typewriter-enthusiasts that are trying to get some common information written down and preserved for all to see. Please note that this is NOT to replace the Typewriter Database or Wikipedia, but instead is an effort to expand on those great resources. This site was created by the Typewriter Discord server, so if you would like to help out, go there and ask in the #typewriterwiki channel. Here's an invite.

Want an account so you can make changes? Typewriter Discord server and ask in #typewriterwiki

Please note that the Typewriter Wiki is still under construction, so please mind our dust as we complete pages and add more content.

Typewriter List

An alphabetical list of some brands and models can be found in the article Category:Typewriter, though this is by no means incomplete. Historical and technical information can found in the pages it lists, each about a specific typewriter. This is by no means a comprehensive list, and is being updated periodically.
