After establishing my collection I decided to do some research to see if any one else had carried out similar projects.
I found two blogs which were based on collections similar to my own.
Brookline Booksmith, Find of the week Archive
Forgotten Bookmarks
I also bought a book called 'Forgotten Bookmarks, A Bookseller's Collection of Odd Things Lost Between The Pages' by Michael Popek.
Earlier in the year i did a presentation about Angie Butler (Pet Gallerie Press), a Bristol based artist book maker who visited us to give a talk about her work. Book Arts has been my favourite module and i loved Angie's work. I remembered her project called 'A Friendly Piece of Advice' Which incorporated beautiful origami bookmarks each with a hand written motto which were given out in a mobile library, each motto was written by someone in the village and given to someone else.

I also researched the Univeristy of the West of England (UWE) Artist bookmark project.
