Background

Scope and content:

This collection consists of invitations and other ephemera from the Zamorano Club, dating 1929-1935, sent to Club member Robert E. Cowan. Cowan, who was also the bibliographer and librarian at the Clark Library from 1919-1932, is also pictured in a 1988 issue of Hoja Volante that is included with the collection.

Biographical / historical:

The Zamorano Club is a Southern Californian 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 Club members at meetings, resulting in a variety of printed mementos ranging from pamphlets to small books; sometimes the items are reproductions of historical documents. Early members include A. Gaylord Beaman, Garner A. Beckett, William W. Clary, Arthur M. Ellis, W. Irving Way, Robert O. Schad, and Robert E. Cowan.
