Open Boat Booksellers specializes in manuscripts and unique historical
ephemera, with a
specialty in bringing archival collections to institutional clients. Sales are handled
primarily through direct quotes of newly catalogued material to individual curators along

I actively seek to build long-term relationships with buyers based on
their existing
holdings, collection strengths, and current acquisition interests. I don’t issue catalogues,
and instead reach out to institutions directly with the best quality material before offering
it publicly. While I specialize in handling manuscript Americana from the Colonial period
through Reconstruction, I also actively acquire material of all types and formats from the
early modern period through the end of the twentieth century.

Curators are encouraged to reach out via email with interests and
collecting goals.
