Dr. Wei Jin Darryl Lim, is a Singaporean historian of books and printing. He is currently a Early Career Research Fellow at the Institute of English Studies (October 2022–23), working on a project titled ‘Impressions from “beyond the Ganges”: a print-material survey of publications and ephemera, printing processes and labour of the London Missionary Society’s Ultra Ganges Mission, 1815–1842’. His research remit is on lithography and typography in the Malay world, and examines the topic in relation to regional histories of the book in Southeast Asia, the global histories of printing, and the technical aspects of print technology. His doctoral thesis, completed at the Department of Typography and Graphic Communication, University of Reading, examined the global and transregional networks of lithographic printing in the Malay world, with an especial focus on the printing defects and paratextual marks found in Malay lithographed publications, and the uses of lithography by expatriate and indigenous communities during the nineteenth, and early-twentieth centuries. Darryl was the American Printing History Association’s Mark Samuels Lasner Fellow 2019.
