Baskerville Society

General Activity

The Baskerville Society is a membership group dedicated to the study of the eighteenth-century typographer, printer, industrialist and Enlightenment figure, John Baskerville (1707-75). The Society aims to encourage research into and promote public knowledge and understanding of John Baskerville’s life, times and significance. To do so the Society runs events, publishes books and papers, and disseminates a newsletter to maintain contact with its members. The Society also co-operates with other organisations, societies and individuals to promote research into and public knowledge and understanding of Baskerville.
