Contribute & Collaborate. Collected Volumes invites artists, designers, makers, and collectors to contribute to our evolving library.




Documenting a collection as a Brown Book

The goal of Collected Volumes is to build a library of collections that others can learn new perspectives and be inspired by. If you’ve filled out a Blank Book, or if you have a collection that we can like to document as a Collected Volumes Brown Book, we’d love to see it!

To submit, please email us with the following details:
  • Collection title
  • Collected by
  • When it was collected
  • Total number of items/pages
  • Is this a standalone title, or could it be part of multiple volumes under the same theme?
  • 5–10 photos or scans of completed pages or, if it’s not from a Blank Book, photos of collected items
  • 1–2 sentences about the collection

✔️ Email to submit@collectedvolumes.com with the subject “Brown Book Submission”


Designing a bookmark for the collection

Collected Volumes publishes bookmarks in packs of six, with each pack containing a random selection from the larger catalogue. Every design becomes part of this ongoing collection.

Bookmark size: 4.5cm x 14cm

If you’d like to contribute a design, please email us with the following:
  • Your name
  • The year you designed it (could come from older drawings, ideas, works)
  • Title of your bookmark design (if applicable)
  • A high quality scan of your design, formatted to size (4.5cmx14cm), as a PDF
  • Optional: a short sentence about the inspiration behind it

By contributing, your design could appear in a future pack, helping to expand the library of visual inspiration for the community.
