International Associations and Exhibitions

國際藏書票組織及展覽

Associations of bookplates have been established in different countries for bringing together bookplates lovers who are interested in producing, exchanging, collecting and promoting bookplates. Currently, more than 40 societies of bookplates across the world, including Hong Kong Ex-libris Association (HKEA), are under the patronage of FISAE which is the acronym in French for Fédération Internationale des Sociétés d’Amateurs d’Ex-Libris, meaning International Federation of Societies of Ex-Libris Collectors. FISAE is the international congress of bookplates and its members meet every two years at different locations.

Other important international exhibitions of bookplates also include the International Biennial Exhibition of Modern Exlibris in Malbork, the Gdańsk International Exlibris and Small Graphic Form Competition and Ostrów Wielkopolski International Small Prints and Ex Libris Biennial Exhibition.

藏書票的組織一直在不同的國家成立,讓對藏書票製作、交換、收藏及推廣有興趣的愛好者聚首一堂。目前大約四十個來自世界各地的藏書票協會,包括香港藏書票協會,加盟於國際藏書票聯盟。國際藏書票聯盟 (FISAE: Fédération Internationale des Sociétés d’Amateurs d’Ex-Libris) 是世界性的組織,其會員每兩年會於不同地點舉行會議。

其他重要的藏書票展覽包括波蘭馬爾博國際現代藏書票雙年展 (International Biennial Exhibition of Modern Exlibris in Malbork)、波蘭格但斯克國際藏書票及小型圖像比賽 (the Gdańsk International Exlibris and Small Graphic Form Competition) 及大波蘭地區奧斯特魯夫國際小版畫及藏書票雙年展 (Ostrów Wielkopolski International Small Prints and Ex Libris Biennial Exhibition)。
