Elbert Hubbard (1856-1915) founded Roycroft, a reformist community of  
craftspeople and artists in East Aurora, New York in 1895. Hubbard founded  
a private press to print his books. Influenced by the ideas of English  
designer, printer, and Socialist William Morris, Hubbard expanded his  
Roycrofters community to include other craftspeople, such as furniture  
makers, metalsmiths, and leathersmiths. This exhibition at the John J.  
Burns Library focuses on the work of the bookbinding and printing shops,  
and features holdings from the Boston College Libraries that highlight  
Roycrofter artisan designs, including the modest \*Little Journeys\* pamphlet  
series, beautifully printed and hand decorated text blocks, and books in  
stunning modelled leather bindings.  
  
The exhibit is co-curated by Barbara Adams Hebard, Conservator, and Andrew  
Isidoro, Reading Room Assistant.
