After 99 years in business, the
Alden design firm closed in 2008
and the plans were donated to the
Hart Nautical Collection of MIT
Museum. Most of the collection was
cataloged and scanned by the Alden
holding company under the
direction of Niels Helleberg, a
designer at Alden since 1971.
Helleberg continued providing
design and print services until
closing his office in January
2014. |
