  • Misión

    The American Society of Bookplate Collectors and Designers (ASBC&D) was organized in 1922 to further this department of the book arts. Today, the ASBC&D is a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization with a focus on North American book artists, printmakers, and collectors - both individuals and institutions. Our membership includes more than 150 individuals and 50 institutions. The purposes of the ASBC&D as stated in the first Year Book are: "To cultivate the spirit of friendship and mutual helpfulness among collectors and designers of bookplates; and to assist in the further development of the bookplate." This is accomplished by the publication of the YEAR BOOK, quarterly newsletter, special interest publications, traveling exhibitions, regional meetings, talks, and more. There are dozens of foreign "ex libris" associations with whom the Society corresponds and exchanges -- our global network includes 50+ nations.
