Alcuin Society

A voluntary association established in 1965 by Geoff Spencer, the Alcuin Society is a non-profit organisation founded for the book arts. It is located in Canada. It should not be confused with the Alcuin Club, an Anglican publishing society.

Among the other six founding members is Basil Stuart-Stubbs.[1]

The society is named after the Alcuin of York.[2]

Awards

Since 1996, the society has awarded an Annual Award for Excellence in Book Design.[2] In 2007, the society started awarding the Robert R. Reid Award and Medal for lifetime achievement or extraordinary contributions to the book arts in Canada.[3]

gollark: ```You can make an account on any Mastodon instance and interact with users on this or any other one. That being said, here's reasons why you should choose this instance: You like stellated platonic solids very much. You think our rules make a lot of sense. You want to try out Mastodon / being on The Fediverse, this place being as good as any other instance for that. You think, correctly, that @halcy or @dotUser are exceedingly good at online.```
