Ran Slayton and others at the Teletype Corp. had established a database of about 500 of the Museum's significant items. With the Museum's closing, they used the database to produce a catalog of the Museum's collection. It consisted of a short description and a Polaroid photograph. Some items include dates, customers and quantity produced. The catalog consisted of 12 books of 11x17" pages and copies were distributed to major museums around the country, to see if they were interested in any of the items. 

The AWA Museum received some items, including a Kleinschmidt Electric tape printer from 1920, the prototype of the Model 17, which was compatible with the German Hellschreiber and a rotor-type TTY encryption unit from about 1950, all of which are on display at the AWA Museum.
