Endpapers exhibition at the Angra public library and archive

"As folhas que guardam" is this autumn's Document of the Month display at the Biblioteca Pública e Arquivo Regional Luís da Silva Ribeiro in Angra do Heroísmo, Terceira, open from 2 November to 31 December 2026. The subject is the endpaper: the sheet glued inside the front and back of a bound volume. The display explains what endpapers protect and hold together, then lets the decoration speak, because the patterns are also evidence that help date a book and trace the workshop that bound it. It is a quiet, specialist show rather than a big exhibition, best for anyone who likes old books, printing or paper craft, and an easy stop if you are already in Angra.
