Scotland’s printing companies include many familiar names: Blackie & Co, W& R Chambers, Williams Collins, T & A Constables, Thomas Nelson and Valentines. Companies often produced printed brochures or company histories to mark important points in their history. Some of these have been scanned with the help of students in the School of Arts and Creative Industries at Edinburgh Napier University. Every effort has been made to trace copyright holders: if you have any information about current copyright holders for any of these items, please email the secretary.
