At HistoricType.com, our goal is to document and contextualize letters and type on historic signs, broadsides, and buildings.

Please submit images that help us meet this goal.

And tell us as much about the letters and type as you can. The only required (*) information is the country the letters/type lives (lived) in and what the sign says (said)... but we hope you can tell us more, so others can search for and find the images you submit.

If you don’t know the information requested, just leave it as “unknown.” Others can log in and update “unknown” tags.

An image database and journal dedicated to documenting and contextualizing letters and type on historic signs, broadsides, and buildings -- exploring their role in history, design, and society.
