This week we’re giving digital tourism a try with Professor Stephen Hoskins, Founder of CFPR, telling us about the print museums of Europe – a timely reminder of how important these institutes are!

CFPR Seminar – 1 – 2 pm, Wednesday, 27th of May

European Printing Museums: A Personal Top Ten – Professor Stephen Hoskins

(No need to register – link will be open ten minutes before talk starts)

There are over 70 printing museums, or museums with printing collections who are members of the Association of European Printing Museums (AEPM). Stephen Hoskins was a founding member of the group, sitting on its board for many years and was its Chair between 2010 and 2012. During the years of his involvement with the AEPM Stephen was privileged to visit many of these museums.

This talk, a flying visit around Europe, stopping in Germany, France, Switzerland, Sweden, Belgium, Denmark, Holland and Ireland, will cover Steve’s personal top 10 and why they are his favourites. Sadly several of these museums no longer exist, but the talk will also briefly cover some new and exciting prospects.

If you know of anyone who wants to be added to the CFPR Seminar mailing list to hear about upcoming talks and events, or put forward a talk, please let me know at damien.leech@uwe.ac.uk. Catch up with prior talks over the CFPR YouTube page.
