Grolier Club
The Grolier Club is a private club and society of bibliophiles in New York City. Founded in January 1884, it is the oldest existing bibliophilic club in North America. The club is named after Jean Grolier de Servières, Viscount d'Aguisy, Treasurer General of France, whose library was famous; his motto, "Io. Grolierii et amicorum" (or belonging to Jean Grolier and his friends ), suggested his generosity in sharing books.〔(Jean Grolier Biography )〕 The Club's stated objective is "the literary study of the arts pertaining to the production of books, including the occasional publication of books designed to illustrate, promote and encourage these arts; and the acquisition, furnishing and maintenance of a suitable club building for the safekeeping of its property, wherein meetings, lectures and exhibitions shall take place from time to time…"〔''The Grolier Club,'' Constitution, Article I, section 2. 2005 edition.〕
==Collections and programs==
The Grolier Club maintains a research library specializing in books, bibliography and bibliophily, printing (especially the history of printing and examples of fine printing), binding, illustration and bookselling. The Grolier Club has one of the more extensive collections of book auction and book seller catalogs in North America.〔(Grolier Club Library Overview )〕〔''Lasting Impressions: The Grolier Club Library'' (New York: Grolier Club, 2004) pp. 8–12.〕〔(About The Grolier Club )〕 The Library has the archives of a number of prominent bibliophiles such as Sir Thomas Phillipps,〔(Phillipps )〕 and of bibliophile and print collecting groups, such as the Hroswitha Club of women book collectors (1944–c. 1999)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hroswitha Club: Records and Publications, 1944-1999 )〕 and the Society of Iconophiles.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Society of Iconophiles (New York, N.Y.): Records, 1895-1930 )〕
The Grolier Club also has a program of public exhibitions which "treat books and prints as objects worthy of display, on a par with painting and sculpture."〔(Exhibitions )〕 The exhibitions draw on various sources including holdings of the Club, its members, and of institutional libraries. In 2013, it hosted an exhibition on women in science.
The Grolier Club is a member of the Fellowship of American Bibliophilic Societies.〔(FABS - Member Clubs )〕
