| Summary: | The series of 'Working Papers on Went Indian Printing' was developed at the Department of Library Studies of the University of the West Indies, initially to provide suitable material of Caribbean content for those students studying for the optional course on the history of the book. At first the research undertaken for these papers was limited to the resources available in Jamaica (The Jamaica Archives, the West India Reference Library of the Institute of Jamaica, the University of the West Indies) and the series was intended for internal use only. However the discovery of much valuable and hitherto unexploited research material in the Jamaica Archives led to the realisation that it merited publication to a wider audience, and the Working Papers were made available for sale.
