The thirty-first Print Networks Conference on the History of the

Due to the proximity of the conference venue to the south coast,
‘Travel, Topography and the Book Trade’ has been chosen as the theme
for the conference. The theme is broadly defined, and any papers
relating to the production, distribution and reception of texts and
images about travel, imagined and real, from the Middle Ages to the
modern era will be considered. Papers on travelling and migrating
practitioners of the book trade, the physical movement of texts and
travelling printing technology are also welcome. The geographical
scope for the conference is Britain and the Anglophone world. Papers
should be of 30 minutes' duration.
An abstract of the offered paper should be submitted (preferably via
email) by 31st January 2013 to: Catherine Armstrong

The Print Networks Conference also offers an annual fellowship to a
postgraduate scholar whose research falls within the parameters of the
conference brief, and who wishes to present a paper at the conference.
The fellowship covers the cost of attending the conference and some
assistance towards costs of travel. A summary of the research being
undertaken accompanied by a letter of recommendation from a tutor or
supervisor should be sent to the above address by 31st January 2013.
The papers presented will be considered for publication; details to
follow at the conference. It is understood that papers offered to the
conference will be original work and not delivered to any similar body
before presentation at this conference.
En-suite accommodation will be provided on the Bishop Otter campus of
the University of Chichester. In addition to a full programme of
papers, there will be a conference dinner and a visit to the special
collections of the University of Chichester library.
