Have a Catalog, Brochure, or Manual Not Listed Above?
The Library grows when collectors share what they own. If you have a piece of pen ephemera that isn’t already indexed on this page — a catalog, dealer flyer, instruction sheet, repair manual, or company publication — the PCA Librarian would love to hear from you.
You don’t need to do the scanning yourself. If you can get the document to the Librarian, the PCA can handle the rest, and the resulting scan will join the Library credited to you.
Email the Librarian to discuss what you have. Most contributions arrive as either physical loans (returned after scanning) or as scans the contributor has already made.
