The three classes run simultaneously at the enssib (French LIS university),
with practical sessions at the Lyon City Library, the Printing Museum and the
Lyon City Archives. The courses are aimed at a large variety of specialists
(librarians, curators, scholars, students, artisans, book collectors, graphic
designers, booksellers, etc.) who encounter questions related to the history
of the book, printing and graphic communication in the course of their work or
research. Each course is taught by a leading expert in the field with emphasis
on the study of original documents.

In order to facilitate access to collections and 'hands-on' study of original
documents, each class is limited to 12 students.

Course fees (one course - 4 days):

Full price: 500 euros

Student rate: 300 euros (required documents: a motivation letter, CV and a
copy of your university student card)

The course fees include the provision of study materials, tea/coffee breaks as
well as a welcome cocktail cum free entrance to the Lyon Printing Museum (on
Sunday, 21 June). It does not include meals and accommodation.
