<<< to the first page <<< BOOKPLATES IN SWEDEN In Sweden, as far as known, around 13.000 people this far have let made bookplates for them, or ”exlibris” as they are called in Swedish. The oldest printed one is from 1595 and up to the 18th century bookplates were only a concern in the aristocracy. Around 1900, though, the interest became wider among book collectors, writers, artists and the like. THE SWEDISH BOOKPLATE ASSOCIATION  ”Svenska Exlibrisföreningen” was founded in 1934 and arranges meetings with different programs on the subject of bookplates. A newsletter, ”Exlibriscirkuläret” is distributed to the members four times a year and a yearbook is printed with different intervals. If you want to be a member of ”Svenska Exlibrisföreningen” the fee is SEK 225 per year if you live outside Sweden. Our Swedish postal giro account is 33 45 82-4.
