The centre's activities are organised into four strands: History of Writing, Text and Image, Writing in Society, and Sharing the Book.
Strands
History of Writing
The research and activities carried out under the History of Writing Strand address writing and textuality in its many forms across material, cultural, and scholarly dimensions.
Text and Image
Images are inextricably part of book culture, from the cover or binding to the illustrations, diagrams, devotional images or prints that enhance, explain or even contradict the text.
Writing in Society
The Writing in Society strand centres on transdisciplinary questions relating to the location and role of writing and book culture in societies across the globe.
Sharing the Book
Drawing on the exceptional holdings of the Library of Trinity College Dublin, this strand focusses on the facilitation of public access to textual and documentary heritage.
