The CPHC Typographic Library is located at Winterbourne House & Garden, part of the University of Birmingham. The library comprises more than 10,000 individual items including books and periodicals, leaflets and journals, and other artefacts concerned with the history of printing. The subjects covered included the machinery and equipment, the industry and its personnel, printing processes, and the design of printed products such as books, newspapers, journals, and ephemera. There are also examples of work produced at schools of printing and an extensive collection of type specimens and books on type and typography.

The Typographic Library is accessible by appointment but on Wednesday 13 September, as part of Birmingham Heritage Week, the Library will be open, without the need to book and without prior arrangement. 

Standard admission applies to the site, however there is no additional charge to view the library.
