BH&PS HISTORY BOOK CLUB

SUMMER/FALL 2025 READINGS 

Thinking along the same lines as our new and extraordinary WUNDERKAMMER exhibit, the books for the BH&PS summer/fall reading season are all about collectors and collecting. These books explore the various facets of the act of collecting, from highlighting a moment when collecting turns into a crime to exploring the lives of some very interesting collectors!


No need to sign up. Just come and join us for lively discussions!

Free and open to the public.

All meetings are at the Bristol Historical & Preservation Society

48 Court Street, Bristol, RI


Books available at the Rogers Free Library.
