The American Bookbinders Museum
The American Bookbinders Museum explores and celebrates the craft, culture, and tools of bookbinding.
Join Shawn Sheehy, a long time teacher, in our August monthly webinar series to learn the basics of paper engineering and pop-ups. Sheehy is a book artist specializing in pop-ups, and has created pop-up books for companies like American Girl and American Greetings. You'll leave the workshop with a better understanding of the types of pop-ups, the tools needed, and the ideal materials. Shawn will explain the development process and give a demonstration of pop-up assembly.![]()

Art Deco has influenced design over the past 100 years. Using Book Arts as our canvas, we present a timeline of Art Deco inspired design from 1925 to 2025. From French Arts Décoratifs, to contemporary designs of today, Art Deco is an enduring influence.![]()

Temperature, relative humidity (RH), and light are the main causes of deterioration and the ABM protects its collections against all of them. Our Collections Storage Room has its own environmental monitoring including an HVAC system and humidity control. We have environmental monitors throughout the museum and monitors in the museum's display cases. Collection areas have no direct sunlight and the lights remain off when the room is not in use. Light levels are collated, tracked, and documented. Your support helps the ABM continue its preservation practices! Donate Tod#ABM10A#donationa#museumss#museumu#supportmuseumss#thankyounkyou
