Director Andrew Pettegree and Project Manager Malcolm Walsby have just completed a highly successful field trip to libraries in Belgium. In a week divided between the Royal Library in Brussels and the Museum Plantin Moretus in Antwerp they gathered data for the next phase of the USTC publication programme: NB, a survey of books published in the Low Countries, and FBL, Latin books published in France. Dr Walsby also explored the extraordinary series of manuscript account books in the Museum Plantin Moretus. This is the first of several field trips planned for this year, which will take members of the enhanced project group to London, Oxford, Cambridge, Copenhagen, Paris and Dublin, as well as libraries around Scotland and back to Belgium. It is also planned to incorporate visits to the Museum Plantin Moretus into the new M. Litt. in Book history, which will run for the first time in academic year 2010-2011.
