The Grolier Club is a society of bibliophiles, founded in New York City in January, 1884, the oldest such club in North America. The club is named after Jean Grolier de Servières, Viscount d'Aguisy, Treasurer General of France. The Grolier Club has had three locations since being founded in 1884. In 1890 the Grolier Club moved into a Romanesque Revival building at 29 East 32nd Street. Since 1917, the club has been located at 47 East 60th Street. The Grolier Club maintains a library specializing in books, printing, binding, illustration and bookselling. The Grolier Club also facilitates public exhibitions which often include its library collections and the collections of its members.
