The Pen Collectors of America maintains the largest archive of pen and pen-related materials in the United States. The Library is maintained for P.C.A. members and we encourage you to use it to it's full extent for research and information.

In 2002, the P.C.A. was fortunate to acquire The Leadus R. "Sarge" Armes Fountain Pen Publication Collection containing over 400 different pen publications. This generous donation was made possible by Sarge Armes, Robert Christian and The Brenau University Library. Further information and a complete listing of this collection follows the regular P.C.A. listing of archived materials below.

We have included a listing of back issues of The PENnant which are available to members for $10 each. Shipping fee for any quantity of PENnant back issues is $4 in the U.S. Please contact us for shipping fees outside the U.S.

The P.C.A. would like to replace missing and non-original issues of The PENnant in our archives. If you have an issue not listed or an original issue to replace one of our copied issues, please consider donating this to the P.C.A. Library.

We encourage all members to contribute clear copies of old catalogs, brochures and related pen reference materials to the Library. With your help, we can make the P.C.A. Library even better!

P.C.A. members may request copies of any items listed below for the nominal fee of 15 cents per page. Shipping within the U.S. is included in this price. For our members outside the U.S., please contact us for shipping fees. At this time, archived materials are not available for online retreival.
