 WeberStOngeCollection
A complete collection of titles published  by Achille J. St. Onge
Worcester, Mass.: A. J. St. Onge,

Msgr. Francis J. Weber of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles has presented the Rare Book Room with
an important collection of miniature books.

The 52 volumes represent a complete set of titles published by Achille J. St. Onge plus two associated volumes.

St. Onge is considered one of the most important miniature book publishers of the 20th century,
and his work is highly desired.  A complete set is a major achievement, and very difficult to obtain.  One of his books, The Inaugural Address of Thomas Jefferson, was printed in an edition of 200.  The binding, however, did not turn out correctly, and he burned all but 30 copies.  The set presented to us by Msgr. Weber includes this elusive title, making UNT one of only a few institutions in the world with a complete set.

Our deepest thanks to Msgr. Weber for this important and generous gift!
