Bookplates/Ex-Libris

New Zealand has a small number of ex-libris collectors, most of whom seem to live in the greater Auckland region. Amongst them two people stand out for their contribution to recording and preserving the history of the art of the bookplate in New Zealand.

Ian Thwaites and Rie Fletcher, both members of the Auckland Ex Libris Society, have researched and presented bookplates with New Zealand origins or associations through articles, exhibitions and high quality limited edition books produced by the Puriri Press (Auckland). A short handlist of the works they have produced individually or collectively can be found here
