Historic New England awards Prize for Collecting Works on Paper

Historic New England awards its 2012 Prize for Collecting Works on Paper to M. Stephen Miller and DeWolfe & Wood, Antiquarian Book Dealers, and celebrates with a reception on Monday, June 18 at the Lyman Estate.

Miller spent more than thirty years assembling the finest and most comprehensive collection of Shaker ephemera documenting Shaker industries and craft. Selections from his collection of more than sixteen thousand items have been included in numerous books on Shaker material culture and history and been shared with researchers and the general public through publication, exhibitions, and loans.

Specializing in Shaker material and Maine and New
England history and literature, Scott DeWolfe and Frank Wood have assisted many institutions and collectors in assembling major collections since 1993 and have
done much to promote and preserve a broad range of historic America on paper.
