The Book History Workshop, organised by the Institut d'histoire du livre, is the European offshoot of the Rare Book School, University of Virginia, Charlottesville (United States). The philosophy of the Book History Workshop is to perpetuate and develop skills and practical knowledge in the field of book history. Courses are based on intensive contact with internationally recognised specialists in specific fields, using printed and audiovisual documents with "hands-on" sessions with original documents of all periods from the rare book collections of Lyon's City Library, Printing Museum and Archives. An important aspect of the Book History Workshop is its transversality for in bringing together a wide range of profesionnals it encourages exchanges among the many fields which contribute to the development of book history.
