Welcome to the 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. Please note that the Typewriter Wiki is still quite new, so please mind our dust as we complete pages and add more content. |

This is by no means a comprehensive list, and is being updated periodically.
