The Second London Rare Book School (LRBS)
30 June-4 July, 14 July-18 July 2008
Booking is now open for the second LRBS which will be run by the Institute
of English Studies, University of London (based at the Senate House
complex in the heart of Bloomsbury). The LRBS offers intensive, five-day
postgraduate-level courses in book history and related subjects which can
be taken for credit and thus used to build a postgraduate certificate or
diploma, or an MA qualification. Courses will use the resources of, among
others, the British Library, Senate House Library, the V&A, and the
British Museum.
