Acknowledgements

The staff of the Woodstock Public Library and the City of Woodstock are deeply grateful to Arthur H. Cobb for his generous donation of an extensive collection of Oliver typewriters and Oliver Company memorabilia to the City in 2025. This remarkable collection preserves an important chapter of Woodstock history and will serve as a valuable resource for historians and the community for years to come.

We are honored to be able to display fourteen of the typewriters as part of the 2026 Typewriter Trail celebration in Woodstock. Learn more about the Typewriter Trail on the Real Woodstock website.

Many thanks also to Jett Morton, author of The Oliver Typewriter, for his gracious permission in allowing us to use his descriptions and research on the typewriters and Thomas Oliver for this digital exhibit. Visit his website to learn even more about the Oliver Typewriter Company.
