CPHC Publications

CPHC members contribute to many and various books and journals in the fields of printing history and print culture. In addition, CPHC has its own series of edited volumes and monographs published by Peter Lang Ltd, which is edited by Dr Caroline Archer-Parré, Dr Malcolm Dick and Dr Hazel Wilkinson. This series unites the allied fields of global, national and local printing history and print culture, and is therefore concerned not only with the design, production and distribution of printed material but also its consumption, reception, and impact. It includes the histories of the machinery and equipment, of the industry and its personnel, of the printing processes, the design of its artefacts (books, newspapers, journals, fine prints, and ephemera) and with the related arts and crafts, including calligraphy, type-founding, typography and global scripts, papermaking, bookbinding, illustration, and publishing. It also covers the cultural context and environment in which print was produced and consumed.
