Administrative / biographical background

The Manchester Society of Bookcollectors first began to meet as a society in 1955. The Libraries Committee granted the society the privilege to hold its monthly meetings in the Central Library where they continued to be held. After January 1975, with the deaths of Mr. D. I. Colley, the Honorary Secretary and Mr. A. Hyde, no meetings were called.
