Meredith Ivey Santaus

Bookseller
Meredith Ivey Santaus currently splits her time between Philip Salmon & Company Rare Books and her doctoral studies in Boston University's English Department. She began her career in rare books as an undergraduate at Wellesley College, where she worked in Special Collections while earning her Bachelor's in Classics and English. She then completed a Master's in Book History from the University of St Andrews and a Master's in Library Science from Simmons University. Meredith acted as gallery manager and curator for Bromer Gallery, which gave her the freedom to indulge her passion for bridging books and visual art. In 2021, Meredith curated Pressing Issues: Voices for Justice in the Book Arts, a catalog and exhibit of over 100 items charting over 100 years of book arts responses to social injustice. Pressing Issues received an update in 2022, and remains a key focus for Meredith and for Philip Salmon & Company.
