One of the fabulous volunteers working here in WH/G [10] is busy processing a huge collection of bookplates. Here are a few of our favorites by Eiichi Hirose. The project has given us some research to do, and luckily the library has plenty of resources [11] to get started. I also found that the University of British Columbia has a digitized bookplate collection [12], including plenty from E. Hirose [13]. We've not yet digitized the bookplates in WH/G, but there are bunches of other images, maps, and more in the Digital Collections [14].
Volunteering is a wonderful way to support the library. If you are interested, contact us at 720.865.2043 or vhopes@denverlibrary.org [15].
