The aim of this site is to facilitate the research of book historians through listing the known locations of the archives of British publishers, printers, booksellers and stationers active in the period 1830-1939.

Other book trade archives have also been included namely literary agents and bookbinders but these are by no means comprehensive. A supplementary section has been added which lists archives of the book trade in Dublin during this period. We would welcome notice of corrections and additions, please make them via the web form.

The French Book Trade in Enlightenment Europe (FBTEE) project is a digital humanities project of international significance mapping the production, marketing, dissemination, policing, and reception of books (and hence ideas) in the late eighteenth century.

It aims to bring together and make interoperable and publicly available in a single digital resource multiple historical bibliometric databases. The first of these databases is now available on line via this site. A second stage of the project’s development is being funded by the Australian Research Council and Western Sydney University, where the project is now based. For details of this project and work in progress.

The version of the FBTEE database currently online maps the trade of the Société Typographique de Neuchâtel (STN), a celebrated Swiss publishing house that operated between 1769 and 1794. This resource was publicly launched on 25 June 2012 and is freely available on this website.
