If you have been bitten by the typewriter bug, I recommend joining the online forums devoted to the pleasures of old writing machines. These groups discuss anecdotes about typewriters, where to find serial numbers, machines for sale, street typing�you name it. As you'll see, most typewriter lovers are friendly and helpful people.
- Facebook groups include Antique Typewriter Collectors, Antique Typewriter Maintenance, and Antique Typewriter Classifieds. Some smaller groups welcome all members, but have a regional focus (such as UK Typewriter Club and Austin Typewriter, Ink.) or emphasize areas of collecting (such as MY Pre-World War II Typewriter Collection). The Typewriter Salespersons Page is a gathering spot for, well, typewriter salespersons.
- One
Typed Page is a community where you can submit typewritten
text that will be displayed along with others' typing for the
day.
- Typewriters on Reddit is a lively forum.
- The Typewriters group on Discord is a great place to chat with other typists.
- You can find typewriter lovers on Instagram by searching
for hashtags such as #typewritersofinstagram,
#typewritercommunity, #typewriterpoet, and
#typewriterrevolution.
- TYPEWRITERS is an email list, with roots going back to the '90s and a now-defunct Yahoo list.
- Typewriter Talk is a bulletin board for typewriter lovers.
