Pamela Spitzmueller Memorial Scholarship

Pamela Spitzmueller, a gifted conservator, book artist, educator, and researcher, left a lasting mark on the field of book arts. Before her passing in early 2025, Pam made a generous donation to the Guild of Book Workers. To honor her memory and decades of dedication to the Guild, we are establishing a permanent, annual scholarship to the Standards of Excellence Seminar in her name.

The Pamela Spitzmueller Memorial Scholarship will support one recipient each year to attend Standards, beginning with the 2025 conference in Iowa. We invite additional donations to match Pam’s original gift and ensure this scholarship continues to support emerging and established book workers for years to come.

How to Donate:
