Exploring printing heritage in theory and in practice

3-5 September 2025 | Winterbourne House & Garden, University of Birmingham, UK

The AEPM annual conference is being hosted this year by the Centre for printing history and culture (CPHC) and  Winterbourne House & Garden at the University of Birmingham (UK). The theme of the conference is the relationship between printing history and heritage sites that are custodians of the material evidence of print.

The conference will consider the role of printing heritage in the twenty-first century and discuss the interdependent relationship between heritage sites and printing historians—how it works, how it could work, the benefits, problems and possible new models for working.

Call for papers 

Proposals for papers of twenty minutes and for themed panels of three or more speakers are invited. Abstracts of 300 words should be accompanied by brief biographies and sent to Caroline Archer-Parré by 31 March 2025.
