The Society is devoted to the conservation and study of writing instruments and accessories and has two broad objectives: First is to facilitate the acquisition, preservation and dissemination of knowledge (including the transfer of practical skills), relating to both heritage and contemporary writing instruments, accessories and associated ephemera. Second, we aim to provide the opportunity for Society members to interact and share related experiences.
