History of Printed Image Network
General Activity
The History of the Printed Image Network (HoPIN) is an informal network for anyone interested in the history of printed images, including (but not limited to) artistic prints, book illustration, chapbooks, ballad-sheets, photographs, maps, etc. Online events are arranged approximately every two months and other means of communicating informally within the network are being explored. There is no charge for membership or for online events.
The network – which is part of the Centre for Printing History and Culture – is open to anyone interested in printed images: academics, curators, printmakers and other practitioners, in fact anyone with an interest in the field. The only limitation is that HoPIN focuses on the history of the printed image rather than current practice, except of course where practice is informed by historical awareness.
Notice of future events is available here; and recordings of earlier events are available here.
