The Grolier Club Library

THE GROLIER CLUB OF NEW YORK has fostered interest in the book arts for over one hundred years, through exhibitions, publications, lectures, and--perhaps most importantly--through the formation of a research Library devoted to the arts of the book.

From its modest beginnings as a cooperative reference collection for the Club's bibliophile membership, the Library has grown to almost one hundred thousand volumes, and today welcomes any qualified researcher needing to explore its collection of books and manuscripts on printing and related book arts.

THE 2009 GROLIER CLUB LIBRARY FELLOWSHIPS   New York, May 19, 2009. The Grolier Club Library is pleased to announce the winner of its sixth annual fellowship offering in the history of the book:  Using the Club's collections relating to E. P. Goldschmidt and W. M. Voynich, Dr. Arnold Hunt (Curator of Historical Manuscripts, The British Library) will be studying the London antiquarian book trade and its role as the crucial point of contact between  European sellers and American buyers of rare books in the early twentieth century.  THE GROLIER CLUB LIBRARY COLLECTIONS The Grolier Club Library is a focused research collection of approximately 100,000 volumes on the art and history of the book, with particular strength in book catalogues of all types -- printed and manuscript inventories of private libraries, catalogues of antiquarian booksellers, and book auction sales. The Grolier Club Library collections of book catalogues are among the most comprehensive in the US, and have long been recognized as an important resource for collectors and scholars in book history.
