A voluntary association established in 1965 by Geoff Spencer, the Alcuin Society is a non-profit organisation founded for the book arts.
It should not be confused with the Alcuin Club, an Anglican publishing society.
[5] The University of Saskatchewan Archives and Special Collections displayed books which had been distinguished with awards by the Alcuin Society.
[6] In 2007 the Alcuin Society inaugurated the annual Robert R. Reid Medal for Lifetime Achievement in the Book Arts in Canada, and named Read as the first recipient.
