Founded in 1948, the Manuscript Society is the oldest society of autograph and manuscript collectors in the U.S. It is now international with an impressive program of publications and meetings.
James West is the current president of the Manuscript Society. About 30 years ago, he began collecting material on polar exploration and voyages. He has many fascinating stories to tell about the explorers and
the documents they produced. Plus a book raffle, great food, and great fellowship. Always great fun!
Hope to see you there!
Charles Brown, FBS President
Ben Wiley, FBS Vice President
