We were privileged by a delegates’ visit from the Edinburgh Decorative and Fine Arts Society (EDFAS) on Tuesday 23 September. EDFAS has been a major contributor to the conservation and preservation of artistic heritage in the Scottish capital for almost sixty years, and the visiting group was led by a Writer to the Signet within EDFAS, Russell Duncan. The visit was an opportunity to tour and discuss the Signet Library, with emphasis on the WS Society’s inheritance of art, furniture and design. The visit ended with an exhibition of important historical books chosen from across the Signet Library collections.
