The Missing Books Register, established by the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers in 2012 as the Stolen Books Database, is a registry of valuable and/or historically significant books that allows libraries and antiquarian book dealers to track purloined or missing materials.[1] It tracks works stolen or lost after 15 June 2010.[2] Recent additions to the register include early editions of the Russian nationalist post Alexander Pushkin that were systematically stolen from European regional and academic libraries beginning in 2022.[3]
