Registration is now open for the 2017 Lyon Book History Workshop
26-29 June 2017
Lyon, France
The Lyon Book History Workshop’s main purpose is to improve skills in the interpretation and understanding of specific fields relating to our written and printed heritage. Each course is taught by a leading international expert in the field with emphasis on the study of original documents held at the Lyon Museum of the History of Printing, the Lyon City Library and other rare book repositories in Lyon.
The courses are aimed at a large range of specialists (scholars, curators, lecturers, artisans, librarians, booksellers, collectors, graphic designers, doctoral students…) who encounter questions related to the history of the book, printing and graphic communication in the course of their work.
