Miniature Book Collection
The Miniature Books Collection of the UNT Libraries grew out of a collection of children's books that were donated in the 1930's. It has expanded to include almost 3,000 items. In order for a book to be considered a 'miniature' it can be no taller than 4" (10 mm); our collection includes several items that are smaller than 1/4" (5 mm) and one item less than 1/8" (1 mm.) tall. The Miniature Books Collection contains items as varied a copy of Cicero from 1521, prayer books dating from the mid-1600's and artists’ books published this year. It covers a wide variety of subjects in many languages from countries throughout the world. The collection includes limited edition fine press works as well as modern mass-market publications. Our strengths include late 20th century Hungarian miniatures, 19th century children's Sunday school literature, and various publishers such as Somesuch Press, REM Miniatures, Achille St. Onge, Darragh Hunter, and William Pickering.
