A Book of Remembrance is on view daily in the Remembrance Room. It provides an inexpensive and lasting form of memorial to those departed.

There are four books, one for each quarter of the year. An opening is provided for each day of the year, and the Book will be open each day at the appropriate page in order that the entry may be seen on every anniversary of the date of death.

The lettering is executed by hand by craftsmen and richly bound and tooled. It will offer the same degree of permanence as the best examples of medieaval illuminated manuscripts.
