Centre for the Study of the Book
The Centre for the Study of the Book provides a common ground for scholars and librarians with shared interests in understanding, documenting, and interpreting the intellectual and material history of the book.

Please use the index to the left to find information about the events and projects sponsored by the Centre, and news about lectures, seminars, workshops and projects at the Bodleian Library and in Oxford. The CSB also engages in collaborative projects with our partner institutions.
