RESEARCHING AND ACQUIRING VINTAGE MATERIALS BECAME A DEDICATED HOBBY, BUT AS HIS COLLECTION OF MACHINES, BOOKS AND PERIODICALS BECAME MORE MASSIVE IT RAISED THE QUESTION OF WHAT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO DO WITH ALL OF IT. THE ANSWER WAS TO CREATE A MUSEUM AND LIBRARY FROM WHICH TO SHARE AND INTERPRET THE HISTORY OF BOOKBINDING, AND THE MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN WHO PRACTICED THE CRAFT.. PLEASE SEE SCHEDULE O FOR FURTHER DETAIL IN THE AGE OF DIGITIZATION, OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE BOOK HAS CHANGED. OUR RELATIONSHIP TO THE BOOK IS RAPIDLY EVOLVING, MAKING IT THE IDEAL TIME TO TELL THE HISTORY OF THIS OBJECT AND MEMORIALIZE ITS SIGNIFICANCE IN REGARDS TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY. THE AMERICAN BOOKBINDERS MUSEUM IS AN IMPORTANT COLLECTION OF EQUIPMENT AND ARCHIVE MATERIALS ON BOOKBINDING IN AMERICA. WE ENABLE VISITORS TO EXPERIENCE THE MACHINERY AND TOOLS, THE PROCESSES AND SOCIAL IMPACT THE CRAFT HAD ON A GROWING READING CLASS. THROUGH OUR LIBRARY AND ARCHIVE, WE OFFER SCHOLARS A WORLD-CLASS COLLECTION OF RESOURCES THAT CAN IMMERSE THEM IN THE EXPERIENCE OF THE TIME. THE AMERICAN BOOKBINDERS MUSEUM IS A REGISTERED 501(C)3 ORGANIZATION. WE ARE A MUSEUM PRIMARILY ABOUT BOOKBINDERS. OUR FOCUS IS THE HISTORICAL IMPACT THAT THE INDUSTRY HAS HAD ON COMMUNITIES AND THE BOOKBINDERS, THEMSELVES RATHER THAN JUST THE SCIENCE OF THE CRAFT. MUCH OF THE EQUIPMENT WORKS AND FUNCTIONS JUST AS IT DID IN THE 19TH CENTURY AND IS DEMONSTRATED AND DISCUSSED BY TRAINED DOCENTS. 31065 SAN FRANCISCO IS A CULTURALLY RICH CITY THAT OFFERS CITIZENS AND VISITORS A VARIETY OF MUSEUM EXPERIENCES. IT IS ALSO A VITAL CENTER FOR THE STUDY AND CELEBRATION OF BOOK ARTS AND RELATED CRAFTS. WHAT IS THE AMERICAN BOOKBINDERS MUSEUM'S PLACE IN THIS DIVERSE ENVIRONMENT? WE AIM TO BE A PARTNER TO--AND A BRIDGE BETWEEN--THE CITY'S OTHER CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS, PARTICULARLY THOSE THAT, LIKE THE CENTER FOR THE BOOK, ARION PRESS, AND THE LETTERFORM ARCHIVE, TOUCH ON THE BOOKBINDING AND RELATED ARTS. OUR MISSION IS, IN ESSENCE, TO ENHANCE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROCESSES THAT HAPPEN BETWEEN THE WRITTEN WORD AND THE PUBLISHED WORD: ALL THE ACTIVITY THAT HAS, HISTORICALLY, TAKEN AN IDEA TO A FORM WHERE IT CAN BE BROADLY SHARED. WE PLAN TO DO THIS BY PRESENTING EXHIBITS, WORKSHOPS, AND LECTURES, OFTEN IN CONJUNCTION WITH OTHER BAY AREA CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS WHICH HAVE A COMPLEMENTARY FOCUS (SUCH AS THE CENTER FOR THE BOOK) OR OFFER A DIFFERENT LENS ON THE ABM'S FOCAL SUBJECTS (SUCH AS THE COMIC ART MUSEUM AND THE MEXICAN MUSEUM). 310655 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 13 0 true 7 true false false false false false false X 5 5 false false false false false false false true true false false true false false false true true false CA X X STACY SMITH 4153422992 856 FOLSOM STREET SAN FRANCISCO CA 94107 X ANITA ENGLES PRESIDENT X X 0 0 0 ERIC HOLUB SECRETARY X X 0 0 0 KAREN WILLIAMS DIRECTOR X 0 0 0 JEANNIE WARNER DIRECTOR X 0 0 0 TIMOTHY JAMES DIRECTOR X 0 0 0 false false false 507257 92450 507257 MEETING SPACE RENTAL INCOME 63310 63310 BOOKSTORE SALES 17304 17304 80614 587871 80614 233148 155083 78065 499 332 167 19906 13337 6569 5692 5692 38167 38167 25789 13805 11379 605 15876 15876 37280 36570 710 9969 9222 747 42684 41959 725 16942 15889 1053 4434 4434 8526 661 7865 COGS 3487 3487 462399 310655 150086 1658 36858 47835 100 156 1801 5464 46779 4777 9190 42002 40566 193034 88515 288491 1155 64722 72221 64722 73376 X 23793 215115 23793 215115 88515 288491 125472 65850 X false false X 1850 105385 197369 412486 507257 1224347 1850 105385 197369 412486 507257 1224347 780641 443706 1224347 80614 0.36240 0.42850 X SUPPORTING SCHEDULE OPERATIONS AND REPAIRS FUNDING 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 36362 3283 33079 7656 1271 6385 2761 223 2538 42002 MUSEUM EXHIBITS - 2016 91700 MUSEUM EXHIBITS - 2013 55300 LIBRARY ASSETS - 2014 12815 MUSEUM EXHIBITS -2015 9901 LIBRARY ASSETS - 2015 9388 MUSEUM EXHIBITS - 2014 7090 MUSEUM - ARTWORK - 2016 5477 MUSEUM EXHIBITS - 2010 1025 LIBRARY ASSETS - 2016 338 193034 X 40000 INDEPENDENT APPRAISAL X OFFICE EQUIPMNT 4 750 CURRENT RETAIL VALUE X BOOKBINDING EQP 1200 45000 INDEPENDENT APPRAISAL X FINISHING TOOLS 50 6500 INDEPENDENT APPRAISAL X COPY PRESS 1 200 INDEPENDENT APPRAISAL false true false FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A TELL THE HISTORY OF THIS OBJECT AND MEMORIALIZE ITS SIGNIFICANCE IN REGARDS TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
