AMERICAN SOCIETY OF BOOKPLATE COLLECTORS AND DESIGNERS

​The ASBC&D was founded in Washington, D.C. in 1922 and moved to Pasadena, California in 1968. In 2001 the Society moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts and since 2005 our mailing address is in Tucson, Arizona​. We have several ​volunteer ​opportunities that​ can be performed from anywhere. ​The ASBC&D has 501(c)(3) status since 1981. Beyond our publications​ we have made some outstanding progress with the Society ​over the past 22-years​. We have introduced traveling shows, bookplate competitions, a stellar website, in-person & online exhibitions, lectures, social networking pages, special interest publications, and we are building an important library and bookplate collection! Please visit our website at -- https://bookplate.org. The Society also organized three global bookplate congresses that included receptions, lectures, exhibitions, tours, and banquets ​ - these meetings were held in Boston, San Francisco, and San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico. ​ In addition, a few of our ambitious members have hosted regional meetings including Portland (OR), Boston, ​and Washington, D.C.
