Reference Library & Archive

We have an impressive and extensive collection of books, pamphlets, journals, periodicals, handbooks, catalogues and newspapers relating to the history, technology and practice of printing, typography, bookmaking, papermaking and other associated crafts. Also included in the collection are books, items of ephemera and photographs showcasing various styles of printing and print houses of old.

The Library is reference only. If you would like to access any items from the catalogue, contact us to make an appointment and provide a list of the items you would like to have a look at (with call numbers included). A table will be set up with all items ready for you on your arrival and WiFi is available in the Museum.
