Collected Volumes is a research library, art publishing platform, and design studio dedicated to expanding how we see, think, and engage with the world through collected material. We aim to create space for artists to present not only their final works, but the processes that shape their practices.
Research Material
Recording personal references and observations, documenting cultural objects, ideas, and ephemera as small, focused collections. Gathered and documented by artists, designers, and observers, these collections form a growing body of shared research material, offering new ways of seeing and thinking.
Artist Books & Zines
Artist-led and collaborative publications developed through ongoing research and experimentation. As a small, independent press, most works are produced in-house and by hand.
Artwork
Original works and limited prints, often developed in parallel with research and publication projects.
Supplies
Materials and tools designed to support research, documentation,
and making.
Contributions
Collected Volumes is always open to new collections and collaborations. Personal archives, documented observations and interesting finds may be considered for inclusion in the Research Material and the wider archive.

Working With Us
We also work directly with individuals, studios, and clients on commissioned projects, including handmade publications and printed matter. Each project is approached as a tailored collaboration, with an emphasis on materiality, clarity, and purpose.
