The Bead Society of Greater Washington's Reference Library


An invaluable resource for anyone interested in beads, our Library contains thousands of volumes on beads and related objects. For serious bead historians and researchers, we have scholarly texts and periodicals about beads through the ages. Designers find a wealth of books on adornment featuring beads from around the world. Collectors appreciate the many books and articles available to help them identify their mystery beads and learn more about them. Beginning beaders benefit from technical advice found in our collection of how-to books.
