FABS Bindings Zoom Group: Suzanne Glemot on Bookbinding Models

Sponsored by FABS

Bookbinding models replicate book structures to show us how a book operates. They range from practical to experimental and may reproduce bookbinding techniques from various eras and cultures. Model-making has been a research and instructional method in the Libraries’ Conservation Lab since its inception in the mid-1980s. Today, the Book Model Collection (BMC) at the University of Iowa is a world-class collection of over 400 items housed in the Libraries’ Conservation Lab.

Discover the BMC’s robust array of historical bookbinding models and learn how this unique collection supports the learning and research of conservators, scholars, librarians, artists, and bookbinders at the University of Iowa and beyond.
