Flanders Book Historical Society

Flanders Book Historical Society (Vlaamse Werkgroep Boekgeschiedenis, VWB) unites every person who does research or has an interest in the history of the handwritten, printed or digital book. Its members consist of scientists, librarians, curators, bookbinders and other book lovers.  

VWB aims at uniting every practitioner in the study of the book, either by profession or by interest, in order to exchange knowledge, promote initiatives and encourage new research, while keeping a wide perspective on events outside Flanders and in other fields of study.
