Provenance and Custodial History
From 1991-2022, this collection was on deposit at the Occidental College Library, with the Zamorano Club retaining ownership
of the materials. In 2022, the Zamorano Club, Occidental College, and the UCLA Clark Library collaborated on the physical
transfer and ownership of the materials to the Clark Library.
In addition to items collected and retained by the Zamorano Club during the course of their activities, other portions of
this archive originated in the collections of individual members, who at some point donated their collections to the Club.
Historical Note
The Zamorano Club is a Southern California organization for bibliophiles and manuscript collectors. It was founded in 1928, and sponsors lectures and publications on book-related topics. The Club was named in honor of Agustín V. Zamorano (1798-1842), a provisional governor of Alta California and the state's first printer. It is club tradition to present keepsakes
to members at meetings, resulting in a variety of printed mementos ranging from pamphlets to small books; sometimes the items
are reproductions of historical documents.
The Zamorano Club has had its meetings at various places since its founding, including the University Club, the Treasure Room within USC's
Doheny Library, and other locations. In May 1991, the club's archive, library, and publication overstock were placed on deposit at the Occidental College Library. Subsequently
the Board of Governors decided to dispose of the library, and the books were accordingly sold at Pacific Book Auction Galleries
(sale 180, 15 February 1999). The proceeds from the sale were placed in the club's endowment fund.
Early members include A. Gaylord Beaman (insurance), Garner A. Beckett (cement manufacturer), William W. Clary (attorney), Arthur M. Ellis (attorney), W. Irving Way (bookman), Robert O. Schad (Curator of Rare Books, Henry E. Huntington Library), and Robert E. Cowan (Librarian of William Andrews Clark Library). Lawrence Clark Powell (former UCLA University Librarian), Ward Ritchie (fine press printer), Henry Wagner (bibliographer), and other distinguished collectors and scholars have been members of the Zamorano Club as well.
