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 USE THESE RESOURCES TO MOUNT AN AUTHENTIC, FULLY-FUNCTIONAL 19TH CENTURY-STYLE BOOKBINDERY. 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 LIBRARY OF EQUIPMENT AND ARCHIVE MATERIALS ON BOOKBINDING IN AMERICA. WE OFFER AN AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCE OF WHAT A FACTORY OF THE DAY FELT LIKE AND ENABLE VISITORS TO EXPERIENCE THE MACHINERY AND TOOLS. 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. THE MUSEUM IS EXPERIENTIAL, SO THE VISITOR WILL SEE THE PROCESS AS IT REALLY HAPPENED. ALL OF THE EQUIPMENT WORKS AND FUNCTIONS JUST AS IT DID IN THE 19TH CENTURY. WE WILL HAVE VOLUNTEER DOCENTS AND ARTISTS OPERATING THE MACHINERY, SHOWING HOW IT WORKS, AND CREATING BOOKS LIVE. 275583 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 false false false false false false false false false true 10 0 true 7 true false false false false false false X 3 3 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 TIMOTHY JAMES PRESIDENT 5.00 X X 0 0 0 ERIC HOLUB SECRETARY 5.00 X X 0 0 0 ANITA ENGLES DIRECTOR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 KAREN WILLIAMS DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 JEANNIE WARNER DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 false false false 404936 404936 EQUIPMENT SALES 17000 17000 RENTAL INCOME 3248 3248 BOOKSTORE REVENUE 50 50 20298 425234 20298 158832 158832 13789 13789 16991 16991 58586 58586 15828 12176 983 2669 7533 4346 290 2897 54371 53807 564 5524 5524 19527 19527 1546 900 646 343 343 1491 1491 DUES & MEMBERSHIPS 6339 6339 FEES + LICENSES 202 202 360902 275583 79107 6212 -469 36858 100 9654 13881 342 1025 13539 16905 28364 17461 88515 6678 51322 64722 58000 64722 X -40539 23793 -40539 23793 17461 88515 64332 X false false X 5940 1850 50085 194369 404936 657180 5940 1850 50085 194369 404936 657180 375568 281612 657180 20298 0.42850 1.00000 X SUPPORTING SCHEDULE OPERATIONS AND REPAIRS FUNDING 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 4873 131 4742 4856 131 4725 4152 80 4072 13539 LIBRARY ASSETS - 2014 12815 MUSEUM EXHIBITS - 2015 7489 MUSEUM ASSETS - 2014 4090 MUSEUM ASSETS -2015 3970 28364 FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
