Scottish Book Trade Index

The Scottish Book Trade Index is a listing maintained by the National Library of Scotland. Essential for historians of the printed word or music, here's how the database is introduced online:-

The Scottish Book Trade Index lists the names, trades and addresses of people involved in printing in Scotland up to 1850. It covers:


•Printers
•Publishers
•Booksellers
•Bookbinders
•Printmakers
•Stationers
•Papermakers.
This online resource has been compiled using the imprints of books and other secondary sources (see the list of references). The Library's holdings of Scottish book trade archives are very strong. For details of these, contact Manuscript Collections.


The Scottish Book Trade Index is very much a work in progress. [...] You can find out more details about the Scottish Book Trade Index in the introduction.
