sachistorymuseum hashtag performance

The #sachistorymuseum hashtag showcases engaging content related to South Australian history, featuring exhibits, artifacts, educational experiences, cultural heritage, interactive displays, community involvement, storytelling, museum events, and vibrant visitor experiences.

It has become a tradition here at the Sacramento History Museum to send out holiday cards to our donors and supporters of our institution. These 2024 holiday cards (250 this year) were printed using one of our printing presses we have on display in our print shop exhibit, the 10x15 Chandler & Price Gordon-style jobbing press that was manufactured in Cleveland, Ohio in 1902. In this video, Howard demonstrates inking the press and operating the press recorded from different camera angles. This video was filmed in segments as Howard printed the inside text of the card in rhodamine red rubber base ink. The front of the card was printed in a previous press run. The text reads, “In this season of giving, we thank you for your support. You bring history to life, create memories and preserve Sacramento's rich stories. May wonder and discovery fill your holidays. The Staff and Directors of The Sacramento History Museum.” The font is 24 point Caslon to match the typeface of the outside of the card. #SacHistoryMuseum #holidaycard #happyholidays #typography #asmr #red #museum #history #sacramento #letterpress #printingpress #printing

The NBA basketball season is underway and we here at the Sacramento History Museum are, of course, rooting for the home team! In honor of the Beam Team, Howard letterpress printed something for the @Sacramento Kings. We had to get out some large wood type that was made in the late 1880s by the Hamilton Wood Type Company for this occasion. The typeface is French Clarendon. The text reads “GO KINGS LIGHT THE BEAM!” The beam appears over the Golden 1 Center when the Kings win. This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press, made in 1852. #SacHistoryMuseum #NBA #basketball #typography #nbaseason #sacramentokings #museum #history #sacramento #asmr #printingpress #letterpress #printing

It has become a tradition here at the Sacramento History Museum to send out holiday cards to our donors and supporters of our institution. These holiday cards (300 this year) were printed using one of our printing presses we have on display in our print shop exhibit, the 10x15 Chandler & Price Gordon-style jobbing press that was manufactured in Cleveland, Ohio in 1902. While many visitors, especially school children who have visited during a school program, may have seen how this press operates, not many people get to see all the steps involved in the printing process. In this video, Howard and Jared demonstrate inking the press and operating the press recorded from different camera angles. This video was filmed in segments as Howard and Jared printed the front and back cover of the card with green rubber base ink. The front of the card includes an image of a valley oak tree. The text reads, “Have a TREE-mendous Holiday Season!” This was set in 30 point Caslon font. The back of the card is a photo engraving of our museum’s monogram and the text, “Printed at the Sacramento History Museum” in also 30 point Caslon font. #SacHistoryMuseum #holidaycard #happyholidays #christmas #christmascard #typography #asmr #museum #history #sacramento #letterpress #printingpress #printing #pun #oaktree

Rolling out some Pantone Red Pepper oil base ink with a brayer on the ink stone in preparation for some letterpress printing in the print shop exhibit at the Sacramento History Museum. As Howard demonstrates, this is done to create an even layer of ink on the ink stone and brayer. The remaining ink at the top of the stone will gradually be rolled out as we’re printing. Oil base ink can remain up to a couple hours on the ink stone before drying. #SacHistoryMuseum #sacramento #museum #history #letterpress #printingpress #asmr #printing #historytok

Replying to @johnholgren We often demonstrate a lot of printing in our print shop exhibit at the Sacramento History Museum, but not many people get to see the cleaning process. In this video, Jared shows the full cleaning process sped up a bit because the full video is almost 11 minutes long. We use 1K kerosene as a solvent to clean the ink off of our 10x15 Chandler & Price Gordon-style jobbing press. This was after a press run where we letterpress printed 250 copies for our 2024 museum holiday card with rhodamine red rubber base ink for the inside text of the card. Cleaning is always a long and laborious task but we hope you enjoy the video! #SacHistoryMuseum #cleaningtiktok #CleanTok #clean #cleaning #ink #sacramento #museum #history #letterpress #printingpress #printing

On December 15, 1935, the Tower Bridge opened in Sacramento, California. The bridge is still one of the most iconic and photographed landmarks in our city. In this video, Jared letterpress printed with some orange oil base ink. What was printed using a 3x5 Kelsey tabletop printing press is an image from a photo engraving depicting the Tower Bridge in the late 1930s with the Delta King steamboat passing underneath the raised bridge. This print is available in our Museum Store and website as part of our “Sacramento Prints” bundle. #SacHistoryMuseum #onthisday #orange #towerbridge #sacramento #museum #historytok #letterpress #printingpress #asmr #printing

Sometimes we find printing items online and want to see who they’d turn out in our print shop at the Sacramento History Museum. This large linocut was recently acquired and Jared wanted to see how letterpress printing it would turn out, especially for some personal holiday cards. The print is of Snoopy, Woodstock, and a Christmas tree. This was printed using a 4x6 Golding Official No. 2 tabletop printing press. Fifty prints were printed on this press run using opaque white rubber base ink. #SacHistoryMuseum #snoopy #peanuts #christmas #linocut #linocutprint #sacramento #museum #history #letterpress #printingpress #asmr #printing

Looking for a unique holiday card to accompany a gift this season? We are building up a variety of different greeting/holiday cards available in our museum store! In this video, Jared letterpress printed greeting cards with green rubber base ink. This press run involved printing 50 cards using a 3x5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop printing press. The front of the card was printed using a stock photo engraving that would be available in many letterpress printing offices and this cut was made 60-70 years ago. The image is of some Christmas greenery and a candle. The text “Happy Holidays!” Is 30 point Engravers Old English font. The back of the card includes an image of a Washington hand press and the words “Printed at the Sacramento History Museum.” #SacHistoryMuseum #greetingcards #holidaycard #happyholidays #typography #sacramento #museum #historytok #letterpress #printingpress #asmr #printing

We have been preparing a wide variety of letterpress printed greeting cards to have available in our museum store and website. Known also as the “Festival of Lights,” we now have a Hanukkah card! For this video, Jared shows the letterpress printing process to print the card. The phrase, “Happy Hanukkah!” was typeset with 24 point Caslon font. The image of a menorah is from a linoleum cut made by a local linocut artist. This was printed with blue rubber base ink using a 3x5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop printing press. #SacHistoryMuseum #HappyHanukkah #hanukkah #typography #art #letterpress #museum #sacramento #asmr #printing #printingpress

There are many phrases we live by but overtime we might forget their origins. In letterpress printing, a compositor (also known as a typesetter) is setting type upside down and left to right. However, many of the letters look very similar to each other. It is best to focus on the task at hand. That’s how you get the origin of the phrase “b’s and d’s you could also lose, if you don’t mind your p’s and q’s.” In this video, Jared typesets and letterpress prints that phrase with green rubber base ink using a 3x5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop printing press. This was typeset in 24 point Caslon font and this is close to the maximum size of impression you can make with this press. #SacHistoryMuseum #typography #idioms #idiom #sacramento #museum #history #letterpress #printingpress #asmr #printing

We have reached a new social media milestone on one of our platforms and all of us at the Sacramento History Museum continue to be in disbelief of our viewership. We would have never thought that our institution, a small nonprofit museum in Sacramento, California, could reach this many people from around the world, but we are incredibly thankful for all of those who take the time to watch our videos and for your support. In this video, Howard letterpress printed a headline announcing “Sacramento History Museum Reaches 850,000 lnstagram Followers” while using our Washington hand press, which was manufactured in 1852! The wood type for the headline is 6 line Gothic font. Folks, we are on the road to one million! #SacHistoryMuseum #typography #sacramento #museum #history #letterpress #printingpress #asmr #printing #printmaking

January 8th is World Typing Day! This day celebrates the printed form of communication that ensures speed, accuracy, and efficiency over hand writing. For today, Howard shows the full letterpress printing process from the type case to the printed proof. The first portion is setting the type in a composing stick from the California job case. The font selected is 30 point Caslon. The second portion of the video is building the form in the chase and locking everything in place using furniture and quoins. The last portion is Howard printing “World Typing Day!” This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press, which was made in 1852. #SacHistoryMuseum #WorldTypingDay #typing #museum #sacramento #letterpress #asmr #printing #printingpress #history

As the new year approaches, it’s time to get all those unfinished projects completed. That’s why the last working day of the year, December 31st this year on New Year’s Eve, is National No Interruptions Day! In this video, Howard tries to get a lot of work done around the print shop at the Sacramento History Museum. With it also being New Year’s Eve, Howard letterpress printed an electrotype (copy of a woodcut) of tempus fugit from the Lewis Winter Collection. This cut was made 125-130 years ago. The print depicts Father Time and the text included is “Time Flies.” We want to thank you for joining us this past year as we’ve shared Sacramento history with you all.

Replying to @Proud American December 12th is National Poinsettia Day! It’s a day to celebrate one of the most recognizable flowers associated with the Christmas holiday season. Its association with Christmas originated in the 1500s in Mexico but it wasn’t until the 1920s when Paul Ecke, a farmer in California, developed a grafting technique that caused the seedlings to branch and create more flowers. For today, Howard letterpress printed an image of a floral arrangement of some poinsettias from a photo engraving. Like some of our other holiday photo engravings, these would have been common stock images found in most printing offices that produced holiday cards. This was printed with Pantone Red Pepper oil base ink using our Washington hand press. #SacHistoryMuseum #NationalPoinsettiaDay #flowers #flower #poinsettia #art #christmas #sacramento #museum #history #letterpress #printingpress #asmr #printing

We get a lot of questions from viewers about making a letterpress print using two colors of ink. When it comes to our printing presses, one ink color can be used per impression. In this video, Jared demonstrates making a two color print using a 3x5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop printing press. The two electrotypes used for this print were made 90-100 years ago and would be used for printing Christmas greeting cards. This was printed using rhodamine red and green rubber base inks. We are not sure if these are the best ink colors for this image but this might be one of the most difficult prints we have shown so far. These are for personal holiday cards. #SacHistoryMuseum #sacramento #museum #history #letterpress #printingpress #asmr #art #printing #merrychristmas #christmas #happyholidays

On December 23, 1823, “A Visit from St. Nicholas” was first published in The Sentinel newspaper in Troy, New York. Although it was published anonymously in the newspaper, the poem was originally written by Clement C. Moore in 1822. This well-known Christmas story, first published 201 years ago today, is known more by its opening line than its original title. In this video, @Santa Claus 🎅🏻 ✨❄️ stopped by the print shop at the Sacramento History Museum to help Jared letterpress print the opening line, “‘Twas the night before Christmas.” This line was typeset with 15 line wood type in the French Clarendon typeface. This type was made in the late 1880s. This was printed with rhodamine red rubber base ink using our Washington hand press. #sachistorymuseum #onthisday #typography #santajclaus #christmas #merrychristmas #letterpress #museum #sacramento #printing #printingpress
