Welcome



The Himes & Duniway Society is Oregon's oldest organization of bibliophiles and manuscript collectors. Founded in 2010, the Society sponsors lectures and other events on bookish topics. The Club was named in memory of George Himes (1844-1940), Oregon's first book publisher, and Abigail Scott Duniway (1834-1915), an early Oregon women's rights advocate, newspaper editor and writer.



BRIAN G. BOOTH


It is with a deep sense of loss that we report the passing of our friend, mentor and
bookman, Brian G. Booth. As one of the founding members of The Himes & Duniway Society,
Brian's participation, leadership and behind the scenes mentoring provided us with a steady
hand that allowed this organization to grow in providing a home for bookcollecting in Oregon.

More information about our friend and mentor can be found here.
