Special Collection: Artists' Books

This collection consists of books created as works of art. These books are not only fascinating, and often feasts for the eyes, but they also challenge the notion of what "book" means. Included in the collection are books created by Messiah faculty members. This collection is most closely aligned with the Art and Design department. The books are stored in a secured location unless they are currently being used in a library exhibit. An illustrated catalog of the books is available for reference. Items are cataloged with the addition of a special subject heading of "Artists' Books", and a location of Artists' Books Collection for easy identification and searching in Primo, the library's catalog.

Circulation Policy: Artists' books can be requested and viewed in Murray Library (only). Please ask at the Circulation Desk.

Printing is not supported at the primary Gallery Thumbnail page. Please first navigate to a specific Image before printing.
