The Study Hill Club of Providence
In 1927 a group of Rhode Island bookmen formed a bibliophile club, which was eventually named after the home that William Blackstone (1595-1675), the first European to settle in what is now Rhode Island, built in 1635. Blackstone’s home housed nearly 200 books in several languages, making it the most significant collection in New England at the time. Richard J. Ring will identify the members of the club, what they did in their five years of activity, and explain why the club failed despite the fertile bibliophilic ground of Providence, where significant collections have been assembled by avid collectors and librarians for nearly four centuries.
Date: Friday, September 13, 2019
Time: 6:30 p.m.; talk at 7:30 p.m.
Location: Brown Faculty Club, 1 Bannister Street, Providence, RI -
