A voluntary association established in 1965 by Geoff Spencer, the Alcuin Society is a non-profit organisation founded for the book arts. It is located in Canada. It should not be confused with the Alcuin Club, an Anglican publishing society. Among the other six founding members were Basil Stuart-Stubbs, Sam Black and Bill Duthie (founder of Duthie Books). The society is named after Alcuin of York.
