ABOUT THE ABM
The American Bookbinders Museum, an important library of equipment and archive materials on bookbinding in America, was founded by Tim James, a commercial bookbinder who became fascinated with the craft’s history. Researching and acquiring vintage materials became a dedicated hobby, but as his collection became more massive — well, what he was supposed to do with all of it? The answer: use these resources to mount an authentic, fully-functional 19th century-style bookbindery.
In the age of digitization, our relationship with the book is rapidly evolving, making now the ideal time to tell the history of this object, and memorialize its significance in regards to where we are today. The American Bookbinders Museum offers an authentic experience of what a factory of the day felt like, and enables visitors to experience the machinery and tools. Through their library and archive, they offer scholars a world-class collection of resources that can immerse them in the unique experience of the time.
