Harrison, Margaret B., 1911-1980

Harrison became interested in fine bookbinding in the 1930's and apprenticed for a time with master bookbinder Hazel Dreis. For more than four decades, her bookbinding skills enabled her to bind and preserve a number of volumes within the Western Americana collection that she and her husband were acquiring (and later bequethed to the University of California, Davis). In September, 1990, the preservation department of the General Library of the University of California, Davis was dedicated in her honor.
