Welcome to the Centre for the Book
We bring together Trinity’s outstanding research expertise in the history of writing and literature, the production of books, the relationship between text and image, and the value of reading and writing to society. We work closely with the Trinity’s rich library collections and with other libraries across Ireland and globally. On this website, you can find out more about what we do and how to get involved, as a researcher, a student or a member of the public.
