PERFIN SOCIETY LIBRARY

Starting in 1961 with just 15 items, the society now maintains an extensive library of several thousand books, articles and periodicals from around the world. Every item is given a unique 4-digit library number.

Maurice Harp is our temporary Librarian, following the resignation of our previous librarian due to ill health.

Thanks to the work of our Bulletin Editor, Maurice Harp, we now have scans available of a large number of library items, in pdf format. These are gradually being added to this website and can be accessed from the List of items by Library Number. We gratefully acknowledge the permission granted by The Perfins Club to reproduce material published by them.

Details of library items can be viewed via the following links:-

The library also now holds various documents which were saved by the Society when the J. Sloper & Co. works were closed in the 1990s. The firm invented the perfin process - see the FAQ page for more information. One of these items is an 1897 image of Slopers' office in the City of London:
