Collection & Research

The collection and Historical Archive form the core of Triton & Shell. They bring together books, documents, tools, samples and objects relating to the global history of handmade and industrial paper, bookbinding, conservation and the book arts.
Our aim is not simply to preserve these objects, but to activate them through documentation, research, exhibitions, publications and educational programmes.
