The Americas, West Coast Chapter of the Society has been established to promote the study of collecting from the early modern period to the present day. We will organize in person activities throughout the West Coast in person and digital lectures and series for scholars, experts, and art enthusiasts to explore ideas about the many aspects of collecting. We aim to create a network of knowledge on the West Coast to share among our members and with members of other Society chapters.
