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. 121166 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 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false 8 0 true 3 true false false false false false false X 3 3 false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false CA X X STACY SMITH 4153422992 856 FOLSOM STREET SAN FRANCISCO CA 94107 X TIMOTHY JAMES DIRECTOR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ERIC HOLUB DIRECTOR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ARMIN BOUDAKIAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 false false false 194370 194370 EQUIPMENT SALES 1250 1250 RECONCILIATION DISCREPANCIES 27 27 1277 195647 1277 X 58237 58237 5490 5490 4124 4124 3275 3275 51807 51807 412 412 6088 6088 13357 13357 35478 35478 1132 1132 455 455 DUES & MEMBERSHIPS 585 585 FEES + LICENSES 387 387 180827 121166 59661 0 1618 -469 1025 1025 1025 16905 2643 17461 6680 6678 51322 51322 58002 58000 X -55359 -40539 -55359 -40539 2643 17461 14820 X false false X 660 5940 1850 50085 194369 252904 660 5940 1850 50085 194369 252904 252904 252904 1277 1.00000 1.00000 X SUPPORTING SCHEDULE OPERATIONS AND REPAIRS FUNDING 165,575 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1025 1025 1025 LIBRARY ASSETS - 2014 12815 MUSEUM ASSETS - 2014 4090 16905 TIMOTHY JAMES - START-UP FUNDING X 19581 51322 false true true 51322 FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A IN THE AGE OF DIGITIZATION, OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE BOOK HAS CHANGED.
