Princeton Bibliophiles & Collectors Program: Bibliophiles Showcase and Acquisitions

The Princeton Bibliophiles & Collectors (PB&C), a part of the Friends of the Princeton University Library, is a group of active collectors with members engaging in research about what they collect. The interests of the members include books, manuscripts, graphic arts, and bibliographical matters including the history of publishing, the book arts, the history of libraries, and preservation. The programs of PB&C events include presentations by members of the group, by outside speakers, and by Princeton University staff members. The PB&C returns on October 5, 2022 to in-person meetings. This will once again permit one of the most popular types of meetings: a showcase for members to bring something from their collection and speak for five-ten minutes. Guests are always welcome to meetings. For queries and for more information about the meeting venue, contact the PB&C chair, Ronald K. Smeltzer, rksmeltzer@verizon.net.
