Searching this webpage is a quick way to locate articles in back issues.A webpage has been created, recording bookplates sought by members and others. See recent newsletter.A project has been launched, requesting the contribution of images of circulating library labels, with the intention of eventual publication as a miscellany of such items, together withbooksellers labels.However, there is no link from these webpages because this is work in progress - we do not wish incomplete information and poor, low resolution images to be stolen by internet search engives and imagelibraries. Please contact our Membership Secretary if you wish to know more about, or participate in, this project.It is worth mentioning that there exists a vibrant market in bookplates on but be aware that descriptions of exlibris may notalways be accurate, especially as regards dating of bookplates, their condition and the attribution of ownership.
