Tours
We offer guided tours of the Museum. There is more information on available
guided group tours and how to schedule them.

You can now take a narrated
audio tour of the Museum with Director Cindy Bowden and Steve Miller, Coordinator of the University
of Alabama Book Arts Program. You will need an MP3 player or browser plugin.
Research
We are pleased to offer a new service to the public through our extensive archives. We can provide
professional research services for most aspects of paper history and technology. We have many amazing
things in our archives such as the patent for paper made of wood and ancient papermaking artifacts.
Now the public can have access to this information for research.
The first hour of research is free for Museum members. After that it is $15 per additional hour.
The non-member rate is $30 per hour. Advanced reservations are required.
For more information, contact Cindy Bowden at 404-894-7840 or
