| Abstract: |
This article focuses on the history, development, and operational practices of The Grolier Club’s exhibitions program, the oldest and largest bibliophilic society in the United States. Since its founding in 1884, the Club has hosted over 1,000 free public exhibitions centered on the art and history of the book, curated primarily by its members and supported by a small professional staff. The program balances thematic and member-driven shows across two galleries, employing detailed project management, vendor partnerships, and digital tools to handle logistics such as loan management, installation, and promotion. The Club’s exhibitions reflect evolving book history topics while maintaining traditions, engaging diverse audiences, and fostering collaboration between collectors, institutions, and curators.
