THE ARTIST BOOK & FINE PRESS LIBRARY

Our book arts library has three distinct collections:

  • the CODEX Book Arts Reference Library of trade publications, including the Koch Collection of over 2500 books and periodicals
  • the Steven Cortright & Harry Reese (Mostly) Offset Conceptual Artists' Books Collection, including a full run of the journals Hand Papermaking and Visible Language
  • the CODEX Consignment Collection of Artists' Books & Fine Press Books, a sampling of work from our biennial CODEX Book Art Fair & Symposium

The Library's primary goal is to serve educational, research, and scholarship goals.

The Library is available for:

  • Research to encourage writing, scholarship, and publication in the field
  • Consultation and inspiration for individuals and groups
  • CODEX programming which may include:
    • educational seminars and lectures to individuals and groups
    • off-site exhibitions in collaboration with other institutions
    • representation at other book art fairs
    • CODEX publications

The creation of an on-site repository of Artists' Books & Fine Press Books, our Consignment Collection is offered for sale with 75% of the proceeds going directly to the makers of the work. The CODEX Foundation uses 25% of the sales to run the program. The goal being to promote the art of the handmade book, to make the work accessible to the public, and to support the artists, printers, and publishers working in the field.

Volunteer and Intern Opportunities

The CODEX Foundation is always looking for volunteers, particularly for the Book Fair and Symposium. If you are interested in helping us with our Fair and Symposium. This is a great way to be part of our community and gain free access to these events.

The Foundation is also looking for interns and volunteers to help with our day-to-day operations. Though we hope to grow our internship program in the coming years, it is currently an unpaid program. We are, however, committed to assisting our interns with their career or artistic goals and are committed to helping them find connections throughout the Book Arts world, in the Bay Area, and beyond. We also offer access to our multiple printing presses, dozens of type drawers, resource library, access to artists’ books, and countless other resources that our staff and board members can provide.
