While there is indication that there
was some sort of Governmentprinting establishment in 1830, the Legislation
Council, on the 10th ofApril, 1871, approved a Government Printing Office.
The "Governmentgazette" was printed from 1865, first by the Government
Printing Office
By the second decade of the Twentieth Century, the GovernmentPrintery moved to his historic location at No. 1 Church Street, BelizeCity where it operated into the early nineteen seventies.
The Government Printing Department was inaugurated inthe year 1871 and still today has equipment with which it was startedover a century ago.
Immediately after the war in 1946, with the worldwidegeneral development of overseas territories, a general re-equipment ofthe Department was initiated by adding a Monotype Keyboard, MonotypeCaster and the installation of a vertical Meihle Letterpress PrintingMachine.
In 1961 Hurricane Hattie hit the territory and the full impact ofthis calamity was felt throughout the country, especially in BelizeCity, where the Press was located at the time. The Press was flooded toa depth of five feet which severely damaged the valuable PrintingEquipment, in some cases beyond repair. This initiated planning for thetransfer of the Printing form No. 1 Church Street, Belize City to itspresent location at No. 1 Power Lane in Belmopan City.
1963 saw the inauguration of the Photolithographic Section in the Department which comprised two Davidson small OffsetPresses, a Camera and an Ancillary Plate-Making Equipment, with the exception of the Lithograhic section, Linotype 78 and the Titan SmallCylinder Press, which were damaged beyond repair. These then, are theonly pieces of equipment that have been installed by local sourcessince Hurricane Hattie.
In 1977 the Davidson Machines were replaced by two Thompson Crown Offset Machines that are now over seventeen years old.
With the advent of Print Belize Limited, the Government has been relieved of the burden of having to provide capital for the improvementof the State of Art Printing and Publishing Entity that Print Belize is today.
