The Society awarded the following research grants in 2023: £950 to Dr Matthew Payne for research on the first printer in the City of London, specifically on documents relating to John Lettou in Vallettta and Rome; £630 to Dr Shanti Graheli for work on Aldine advertisement lists in editions of the 1570s and 1580s, using Oxford libraries; £420 to Chiara Betti for research and digitisation work on 18th- and 19th-century printing plates in the collections of the Society of Antiquaries.

Giles Mandelbrote, Chairman of the PHS Grants and Prizes Sub-Committee, commented: ‘We thought it was a very strong field this year and we could have awarded more grants if additional funding had been available’.
