        History

        The Alcuin Society was founded in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 1965. It is a non-profit association of lovers of the book arts (typography, type design, calligraphy, paper making, illustration, printing, and binding) as well as the history and future of the book, book collecting, and libraries. Its goal is to promote a wider appreciation of beautifully produced books in Canada. It has grown since, hosting hundreds of lectures by domestic and international book artists. The Alcuin Society Award for Excellence in Book Design competition aims to encourage a national awareness of book design in the Canadian book industry.
