Morrisby Collection

Accessing collections Special collections Morrisby Collection

Camden Morrisby was a book and ex-libris collector and a leading light in the bookplate movement in the days of P. Neville Barnett, the NSW Bookplate Club and the Australian Ex Libris Society. He corresponded with literary and artistic figures and was a close friend of Lionel Lindsay.

The collection is 3 boxes and 1 folder which includes:

  • Morrisby's personal correspondence (mostly concerned with books or bookplates) 
  • notes by Morrisby 
  • newspaper/magazine cuttings (literary or personal interest) 
  • personal photographs 
  • periodicals and short monographs (about books, literary criticism, publishing) 
  • miscellaneous papers 
  • bookplates

Go to the Morrisby Collection in findit@flinders. (Add additional search terms in the search box to search within the collection)

Care is to be taken, as the material is in a fragile state.
