- Summary:
- Since 2008, the Center for Book Arts has been involved in a Collections Initiative, which includes the in-depth cataloguing and preservation of our extensive collection of artist books, prints, catalogues, and ephemera. These works are now available to the public through our free and accessible online collections database (centerforbookarts.dreamhosters.com). Multiple, Limited, Unique, the culmination of the three-year effort of the Collections Initiative, offers an overview of the history and development of book arts in the 20th century, and examines the role of the institution in both nurturing and promoting innovative artists and preserving traditional artistic practices.
