Subject: 1,000+ New Treasures in the Archives: IAMPETH Acquires The Henning Collection
From: IAMPETH



Hello, fellow pen lovers!

1000 new vintage documents are yours for the viewing! Introducing the Henning Collection, available to IAMPETH members now.
 
The first day at the San Antonio conference, the board learned that a priceless collection of vintage specimens was for sale. We knew this was a once-in-an-association’s-lifetime opportunity we could not pass up. The Henning Collection contains the original documents from An Elegant Hand, plus other pieces that did not make it into the book. There are more than 1000 specimens from prestigious penmen key to our history, including Henning, Courtney, Madarasz, Palmer, Brown, Dennis and more. There are letters containing correspondence between penmen, photos from the Palmer Method Summer School (sign me up!), bird flourishes, alphabets, books, engrossed pieces and so much more.
 
The Board is pleased to share that we have purchased the collection and digital scans of all pieces! The collection is live at on iampeth.com and is available exclusively for IAMPETH members. The collection will also be available to view in person at the 76th annual conference in Norfolk, Virginial (July, 2025).
