This three-year, Marsden-funded project (2010-2013) examines the global communication networks of printers in the long nineteenth century. Using their specialist trade publications called typographical journals, Sydney Shep will be reconstructing their personal and professional networks along with a team of digital humanities experts and a PhD student. They will be exploring data visualisation techniques to capture the nature of these mobile networks, and building a digital library of rare typographical journals for this and future research.
