Our collection includes several examples of vintage Armenian-English typewriters. Thanks to the Estate of Edward Alexanian, we can share this piece with our younger members that may have never even seen a typewriter! This video highlights a pristinely kept Hammond No. 12 that was one of the earliest typewriters ever made and has 38 keys to accommodate the Armenian alphabet.
